Sticky tofu with pak choi

Step 1

Prick a few holes in 500g firm tofu with a toothpick, then cut into bite-size cubes. Mix 2 tbsp grated ginger, 2 tsp dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp light soy sauce, and 2 tbsp brown sugar in a bowl, add the tofu and toss.

Step 2

Heat 1 tbsp groundnut oil in a wok. Add a sliced 2cm piece of ginger and fry for a few seconds. Add 400g pak choi leaves and some water. Cook for 3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and transfer to a dish.

Step 3

Rinse the wok, then add another tbsp groundnut oil. When it starts to smoke, add the tofu pieces (retaining the marinade) and stir-fry for 5 minutes until browned. Season with 2 tbsp shaoxing rice wine and 2 tbsp rice vinegar. Add the remaining marinade, bring to the boil and reduce. Sprinkle over 1 tsp chilli flakes. Spoon onto the pak choi and serve with jasmine rice.
