Lee Kum Kee

Kung Pao Tofu Twist by Ching He Huang

Tofu can be boring but here it is enhanced by many layers of Chinese flavours – Lee Kum Kee Kung Pao Chicken Stir-fry Sauce and sweet Shaoxing rice wine. The earthy mushrooms and crunchy water chestnuts combine to make this a true vegan winner. Topped with chives and Shichimi pepper flakes – the textures and layers of flavours in this dish is truly unique. It’s perfect on a veggie Bibimbap (a Korean rice dish) or with plain rice and pickles on the side.
