Tofu with Prawns and Snow Peas

This light and healthy Chinese-inspired meal is best served with rice, to soak up the steaming juices.

INGREDIENTS:

• 800g fresh Chinese or silken tofu
• 8-12 small green prawns, peeled
• Knob of ginger, finely shredded
• 1 mild red chilli, finely sliced
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped
• 250g snow peas
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 3 tbsp soy sauce

METHOD:

Break the tofu into large pieces and place in a shallow heatproof bowl. Add the prawns and scatter with ginger, chilli and spring onions. Trim the snow peas and cut in half lengthwise, on the diagonal, then toss in sesame oil.
Steam the tofu and the snowpeas in separate dishes over simmering water for 10 minutes. Drizzle the tofu and prawns with soy and a little extra sesame oil, and serve with the snow peas.
