Method

Hide images
step 1
Drain the tofu (300 g) and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice the tofu into 8 slabs (don’t worry if they break). Add to a plate with the cornflour (4 tbsp) and a pinch of salt and gently toss the tofu in the cornflour until coated all over.
step 2
Heat 3 tbsp of neutral oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 4 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp.
step 3
Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper, to drain the excess oil.
step 4
Steam the bao buns (8) in the microwave according to the packaging instructions, for 1-2 minutes.
step 5
Meanwhile, make the slaw. Add the white cabbage (1/4), M&S baby carrots (2), edamame beans (80 g), M&S nuoc cham dipping sauce (2 tbsp) and lime juice (1) to a mixing bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 6
Pack the steamed buns with the slaw and crisp tofu, drizzle over the M&S sweet chilli sauce (2 tbsp) and scatter over the M&S black sesame seeds (1 tbsp). Serve with extra sweet chilli sauce for dipping.
