Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

This is such a quick dish to throw together. Do watch out for the sriracha, as it varies in strength by brand – the tablespoon used below was fiery, so by all means adapt it to your palate.

Ingredients

1 x 280g block of firm tofu (I like to use Tofoo)

1 tbsp sriracha

1 tbsp neutral or olive oil

1 tsp sea salt flakes

A large handful of fresh coriander, chopped

For the pickled onions:

½ red onion, thinly sliced

1 lime, zest and juice

Essential kit

You will need: a barbecue.

Method

Cut the tofu into four pieces lengthways, and place them in a bowl with the sriracha, oil and sea salt flakes. Turn gently to coat, and set aside.

Blanch the red onion in a small pan of boiling water for 30 seconds before draining well. Mix with the lime zest and juice and a pinch of sea salt, and set aside.

Once your barbecue is good and hot, grill the tofu for 3–4 minutes on each side, until well charred. Serve with the pickled onions, coriander and a scatter of sea salt flakes.
