Grilled tofu and tangerine rolls with spicy peanut sauce recipe
- 8 rice paper rolls
- 1 large carrot, peeled and grated coarsely
- 10 cm segment of cucumber, sliced and cut into thin matchsticks
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves, larger ones torn
- 250 g (8.8oz) firm tofu
- 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 large spring onion, cut into 7.5cm lengths and finely sliced lengthways
- 2 tangerines, peeled and segments opened
- 5 tbsp peanut and tamarind chutney
- 1.5 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1.5 tsp lemon or lime juice
- 30 g (1.1oz) creamed coconut
- Heat a non-stick griddle pan.
- Cut the tofu into 3/4 deep, 1 wide rectangles.
- Pat well with several layers of kitchen roll to take out some of their moisture.
- I need to oil my griddle pan a little to prevent the tofu sticking (my non-stick coating has completely gone).
- Place the tofu on the griddle pan and cook until the underside has lovely brown bars on them.
- Turn and repeat with this side.
- Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce.
- Stir together all the ingredients, adjusting consistency, I like it creamy but not thick.
- Taste and adjust, lemon juice or coconut to taste.
- Once the tofu is done, place straight into the soya sauce (you are not seasoning with anything else so you can allow them to soak in a little).
- Place your rice rolls, two at a time in a deep plate of water until just soft.
- Place them flat on some kitchen roll to dry slightly and place on your work surface.
- Place 6-7 cucumber shreds in a line in the centre of each, leaving a 1 border at the top and bottom.
- Follow with some spring onion and 1 tbs.
- or so of carrot, then 2-3 mint leaves, 1-2 tangerine pieces and finally the tofu.
- Fold in the top and bottom and then one side and roll, keeping it tight, the whole thing so that it is like a spring roll.
- Cover with some damp kitchen roll as you finish the rest.
- Serve as they are or halved with the dipping sauce.
