Step 1

Cut pressed tofu into long, thin strips. Pour about a tablespoon of tamari or soy sauce over them and give them a gentle stir - no need to soak them. Arrange on a clean plate and dust with a thin layer of cornflour.

Step 2

Heat up 2 tbsp of oil in a small pan. Once the oil becomes hot, fry tofu pieces on a medium-hot flame until they crisp up nicely. Be sure to turn them around frequently.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together oil, lime juice, tamari (or soy sauce), maple syrup and sesame oil to make a dressing.

Step 4

Mix all the glaze ingredients together (2 tbsp maple syrup, 1½ tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp Sriracha and 1 tsp liquid smoke) in a small pot. Whisk in 1 tbsp of cornstarch and let the mixture come to the boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes until it thickens. Set aside to cool.

Step 5

Combine all the salad ingredients together in a large bowl and stir the dressing through it. Put fried tofu into the glaze and coat well. Serve on top of the dressed salad.
