Tips and questions
How do I get crispy tofu?
Press it for 15 minutes to remove water, toss it in a little cornflour and brown it in hot oil before adding the vegetables.
Can I make it gluten-free?
Yes, swap the soy sauce for tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce; everything else is naturally gluten-free.
What do I serve it with?
Steamed jasmine rice or noodles. Cook them first, as the stir-fry takes only a few minutes.
