Golden, crispy tofu is tossed in a smoky chipotle and sweet chilli glaze, for big flavour and bite, served with Veetee long grain rice that stays light, separate, and perfect for soaking up all the punchy juices. We love the contrast of the smoky chipotle paste paired with the sweet chilli that will leave everyone looking for seconds. It’s loaded with vibrant burrito-style toppings like crunchy peppers, sweetcorn, avocado, and a squeeze of lime for a bright finish. A stunning summer bowl that’s ideal for meal prep, packed with fibre and plant based protein. You could also swap the tofu for chicken, salmon or halloumi.

Method
Cook the sticky chipotle tofu
Preheat the oven to 210C fan/190C.
Drain the tofu and pat dry with kitchen paper, then cut into bite-sized cubes. Toss in a bowl with the cornflour, and a pinch of salt, until evenly coated.
Add the tofu to a baking tray and drizzle generously with your preferred cookingoil. Cook the tofu for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix together the chipotle paste, sweet chilli sauce and rice vinegar.
Remove the tofu tray from the oven then pour over the glaze and toss well to coat. Pop the tray back in the oven for another 5 minutes until the tofu is glazed and sticky.
Alternatively you can pan fry or air fry the tofu.
