ready in 25 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 level tbsp cornflour
1 tsp freshly ground Sichuan peppercorns (or black peppercorns)
400g plain firm tofu
low-calorie cooking spray
400g mixed stir-fry vegetables

1. Mix the cornflour, ground Sichuan pepper and \u00bd tsp salt in a shallow bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Pat the tofu dry with kitchen paper, then cut the block into 18 triangles. Add them to the Sichuan pepper mix and toss to coat well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Spray a large non-stick frying pan or wok with low-calorie cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Add the mixed veg and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Spray the pan again, add the tofu and fry for about 6 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
