Spicy Lemon and Black Pepper Tofu
- 3/4 pounds, 2-18 ounces, weight Firm Tofu
- 1 Tablespoon Sunflower Oil
- 1 whole Lemon, Juice Only
- 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili, Finely Chopped
- Cut the tofu into 1/2cm slices, and then press it to remove any excess water.
- If you dont have a tofu press, just sandwich the slices of tofu between several sheets of kitchen paper or a clean tea towel, and place a heavy object on top.
- Leave it for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, and add the slices of tofu in a single layer.
- Add a good squeeze of lemon, and plenty of black pepper.
- Cook for several minutes, until the underside of the tofu is beginning to brown, and then turn each piece over.
- Add another squeeze of lemon and more black pepper, along with the finely chopped chilli.
- Cook for several more minutes.
- Continue turning the tofu, adding more lemon juice and pepper each time, until it becomes as brown and crispy as you would like it.
- You may not want to add the entire lemons worth of juice.
