This is a delightfully easy and fresh meal that hits all the right flavors and textures. The sauce might seem strange but it is really good! I used candied kumquats instead of bitter orange marmalade, and I think a range of things like yuzu marmalade could also work. Adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi.
Ingredients
- 2 cartons of firm silken tofu (between 300-350g)
- 45 g soy sauce
- 30 g lime juice
- 90 g bitter orange marmalade
- 50 ml peanut oil

- 2 spring onions, sliced very thinly on the diagonal
- 20 g salted peanuts, roughly chopped
- 1 T sunflower seeds
- 2 t white and/or black sesame seeds
- ½ t Aleppo chilli flakes
- fine sea salt
Instructions
- Remove the tofu from its carton, taking care to keep it intact.
- Line a plate with kitchen towel and place the tofu on top. Leave for five minutes to drain any excess liquid. (If there is a lot of liquid you may want to do this step a few times.)
- Blend the soy sauce, lime juice, and marmalade until fully combined.
- Slowly pour in the oil and mix until silky smooth and emulsified.
- Combine sugar snaps, radishes and spring onions in a large bowl.
- Combine peanuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and aleppo flakes in a small bowl.
- To serve, slice the tofu into 1 cm thick slabs and place in a plate or bowl.
- Spoon dressing over tofu, add some veggies spoon some more dressing over everything, then top with the seed mixture.
