Ingredients

Serves
  • Plain tofu180 g
  • Black beans — 400 g tin½ tin
  • Hoisin sauce20 g
  • Jasmine rice70 g
  • Peppers, mixed colours1
  • Extra virgin olive oil2 tsp

From your store cupboard

Soy sauceGround ginger

If you can’t get it

  • Hoisin sauce → soy sauce + a teaspoon of maple syrup + a tablespoon of passata

Method

  1. Press the tofu between chopping boards with a weight for 20 minutes. Without that it falls apart in the pan and never takes up the sauce.
  2. Cut it into cubes and fry it in the oil 4 minutes each side, until it has a golden crust. Don’t move it until it lets go of the pan by itself.
  3. Drain and rinse the beans and mash half of them with a fork. The mashed beans thicken the sauce.
  4. Cut the pepper into cubes and fry 4 minutes. Add the beans, the hoisin, a tablespoon of soy sauce, a teaspoon of ground ginger and 100 ml water.
  5. Return the tofu, warm through 3 minutes and serve on the rice.
