Perfect for meat-free days that require a little spice, this tofu dish turns up the heat with a fiery chilli and ginger sauce. Add some vibrant greens and rice, and you have a warming bowl that feels as good as it tastes.
Crush garlic and grate ginger. Place garlic and ginger in a bowl with chilli bean paste, sesame oil and mirin and stir to combine.
