About

This is a brilliant dish of mine, and a crowd favourite too (the recipe has over 1 million views, not to brag but I’m bragging about it). It’s got a sweet chilli sauce, beautifully crisp tofu and will remind you of your favourite Chinese takeaway but you’ll go, ‘I can’t believe that’s vegan’. Well, I hope you will.

I would cuddle this one, if it didn’t burn my mouth.
