Ingredients
1 Block of Nature's Kitchen silken tofu
1 bunch spring onions, some green saved for garnish
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
2 garlic cloves
1 jalapeno chili
Tamarind Caramel
½ cup sugar
1 tbsp tamarind
2 tbsp Coles soy sauce
1 tbsp Coles rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves
5 slices of ginger
Garnish
1 tbsp fried shallots
Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
Method
Combine the spring onion, ginger, garlic, and jalapenos with a pinch of salt in the jug of a stick blender. Add ½ cup of oil and blend until a smooth but chunky sauce.
In a saucepan, combine the tamarind caramel ingredients. Place over medium heat and cook until the mixture reaches a thick caramel-like texture.
Place the tofu on a serving plate that will fit into your steamer. Heat water in a wok until steaming. Place the tofu into the steamer and steam until heated through.
Once the tofu is steamed, top it with the spring onion salsa and drizzle over the caramel.
Garnish with fried shallots and extra spring onion tops.
