Notes

🌱 Plant Points: 14

🌾 For a GF option, use tamari in place of soy sauce and serve with rice instead of sourdough.

🫙 The butter bean base keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the tofu bites separately.

❄️ The butter bean base can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the hob. Do not freeze the tofu bites.

Instructions were a little hard to follow (step 3 says garlic and ginger but I thought I used it in step 1 for the marinade, then it’s not included in the ingredients list?). Needed to add salt with the sauteeing of spices and onions. Flavor of the sauce is wonderful but I think the siracha sauce takes away from the lovely lightness of the fresh herbs and greens. Would make again with naked tofu!

Thanks for pointing this out, Elizabeth! So glad you loved the sauce 😊 I can totally see how the steps were confusing, garlic and ginger pull double duty here as they're used for both the marinade and the sauce base, so they appear twice both in the ingredients list and the method (step 2 for the tofu marinade and step 4 for the green masala). As for the salt, it's usually added when cooking the onions as it helps them release water and develop more flavour. Hope that makes sense! And for the sriracha, you can always reduce it a little to let the green masala shine through even more 🌿 Don't forget you can save your personal tweaks in the private notes section for next time x

We really liked the spicy green sauce but the tofu bites stole the show. My daughter said this was the best tofu she's ever had!
