Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Thickly slice the tofu and pat dry well with kitchen paper. Cut into 20-25 cubes.
step 2

Mix the soy sauce, both oils, garlic, paprika or cayenne and a pinch of salt together in a bowl. Add the tofu, turning to coat, then sprinkle on the cornflour, stirring gently until evenly coated.
step 3

Transfer to a non-stick baking sheet and bake for 25-30 mins, shaking halfway through, until crisp and golden. Serve with sliced spring onions scattered over and sweet chilli sauce or sriracha on the side.

Recipe tip

Instead of using an oven, the tofu can be air-fried at 200C for 12-15 mins until crisp.
