Black Pepper Tofu is all about layering flavour. The tofu is marinated, coated and crisped before being wrapped in a deeply savoury sauce packed with black pepper at different stages. The result is crispy-edged tofu that softens slightly in the sauce while keeping its shape, delivering bold Cantonese-style spice and warming heat. This vegan dish proves that when flavour and texture are built properly, tofu can be just as satisfying as any meat stir fry.
