Ingredients

  • 280 g extra firm tofu
  • 1 red or green pepper (or half of each) (chopped into chunks)
  • 30 g cornflour
  • 4 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil (make sure there's no actual bits of garlic in the oil if low FODMAP)
  • 1 handful spring onion (only use the green parts if low FODMAP)
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

For the Teriyaki Sauce

  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 150 g water
  • 4 tbsp gluten free soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 ball stem ginger (finely chopped)

Instructions

  • Start by preparing your tofu. Once opened, dab it dry with some kitchen roll. Then cut it into cubes slightly smaller than an inch square.
  • Add 30g of cornflour to a plate and roll your tofu cubes in it until well coated.
  • Grab a medum-sized frying pan. Fry your tofu cubes in 4 tbsp of garlic-infused olive oil until lightly browned on all sides. Add a little extra if the tofu seems to have soaked it all up whilst cooking.
  • Once all sides are nice and golden, place aside on a plate - preferably with some kitchen roll on it to allow the tofu to drain.
  • Now for your gluten free teriyaki sauce. In a bowl, add all of your ingredients and stir until nicely mixed together.
  • Using the same frying pan that you fried your tofu in, add your chopped pepper and lightly fry on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Then, add your gluten free teriyaki sauce mixture. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 5 minutes. Lastly, mix 1 tbsp of cornflour in a small bowl with 2 tbsp of water and add this to the frying pan. Mix in thoroughly. It should now be thicker and nice and sticky looking.
  • Lastly, add in your fried tofu and mix around so it's all nicely coated.
  • Serve up with boiled rice and top with spring onion greens and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

100g of extra firm tofu is a safe low FODMAP serving size during the elimination phase of the diet. So just over a third of this recipe would be safe to eat.
