Crispy Tofu with Spring Onions, Mung Beans and Bambara Groundnuts
Tips
For a meaty alternative to tofu in the recipe above, replace the tofu with 300g skinless, cubed chicken breast. Pour a glug of canola/olive oil in a pan placed over high heat and fry the chicken, tossing occasionally, until cooked through, 8 – 10 minutes.
A fusion of Asia and Africa, this nutritious meal hits the spot for those that love variety in one bowl. Tofu, while vegan, is packed with protein and the firm variety will hold its shape and absorb the flavours of the Knorr Chakalaka Soup.
