Recipe: Tofu, Pak Choi, Wild Rocket, Plum Tomatoes and Cauliflower within 20 minutes

This meal took less than 20 minutes and the result was a healthy dinner, which was full of flavour.

This recipe serves 2.

Ingredients

• 200g Pak Choi
• 1/2 a small cauliflower
• 1/2 a packet of Taifun Organic Smoked Tofu with almonds and sesame seeds
• Olive oil
• About 20g of Wild Rocket
• 10 Cherry/plum tomatoes
• Salt
• Pepper

Method

1. Put enough water in a pan so that only half of the Pak Choi is immersed in water - I love Pak Choi so I used a fair bit
2. Boil it with the lid on and it should be done within 3 - 5 minutes - I drink the water after it's cooled so that no nutrients are wasted
3. Repeat this with some chopped cauliflower - again, cut the amount to suit you
4. Whilst it's boiling, take some Tofu and grill it or cook it in a frying pan with a few drops of oil
5. I took it off the heat after a few minutes, so it was semi crunchy and semi soft
6. Wash some rocket and create a bed of leaves on the plate - I love rocket so I used a lot
7. Wash some cherry/plum tomatoes and place them on the bed of rocket
8. Add the vegetables and tofu
9. Season with salt and pepper
