Instructions

Crispy tofu

  • Dip the tofu cubes in the cornstarch to coat on each side.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet and cook the tofu for around 15 minutes, rotating frequently, until golden brown on each side.
  • Add the tamari and continue rotating the tofu cubes until fully coated.

Coconut pasta

  • Cook the pasta according to packaging instructions. Meanwhile, cook the garlic in a non-stick frying pan until fragrant, then add the coconut milk and nutritional yeast. Stir to combine, before adding the green peas and salt.
  • Drain the pasta and combine with the sauce, also adding 1/4 cup pasta water.

Notes

If you want to thicken the sauce more, you can add cornstarch.
