Golden Sweet Chilli-Makrut Tofu Salad
with Sweet Potato, Wombok & Crunchy Noodles
Firm tofu is the perfect canvas for bold Vietnamese-inspired flavours - like the unique citrusy and zesty flavours from makrut lime, which stands up well to the sweet chilli glaze in this fresh, colourful and textural dish.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks. • Place sweet potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
• Meanwhile, remove centre veins from makrut lime leaves, then very finely chop. Grate carrot. • In a small bowl, combine makrut leaves, mixed sesame seeds, sweet chilli sauce, ginger paste, the water and 1/2 the soy sauce. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook sweet-chilli ginger mixture until heated through and fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
TIP: The makrut leaves are fibrous so make sure to cut them into very small pieces!
• Meanwhile, pat firm tofu (see ingredients) dry, then cut into 1cm pieces. • In a medium bowl, combine cornflour (see ingredients) and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add tofu, tossing to coat.
• When the sweet potato has 5 minutes remaining, wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When the oil is hot, shake the excess cornflour off tofu, then cook tofu, turning occasionally, until golden, 5-7 minutes.
TIP: For best results, cook the tofu in batches if your pan is getting crowded.
• Meanwhile, combine sesame dressing, the rice wine vinegar and remaining soy sauce and a drizzle of olive oil in a second medium bowl. • Add shredded wombok, baby spinach leaves, carrot and roasted sweet potato. Toss to coat and season to taste. • To bowl with sweet-chilli ginger mixture, add cooked tofu, tossing to coat.
• Divide sweet potato and wombok salad between bowls. • Top with golden sweet chilli-makrut tofu. • Sprinkle with crunchy fried noodles to serve. Enjoy!
