Spicy Sesame Tofu Side Dish

This is a delicious tofu side dish that can be used to put that home made tofu to good use! It has a sweet gingery and sesame taste to it and is quite filling. My mother, who is my chief taste tester and quite hard to please, says that this is the best tofu dishes she has ever tried.

I adapted this dish to make it healthier and tastier from a korean side dish recipe, by adding ginger, stevia drops and green chilli it makes a really great addition to the dish!

So Good!!!!! You should definitely try this dish once you have made your own tofu!
