Why This Recipe Works

A vegetarian take on a classic minced meat dish, this uses diced tofu to soak up a fragrant blend of cumin and mustard seeds. It's an herbal, punchy meal that's great for lunch.


Instructions

1

Toast the cumin and mustard seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds until they pop, then grind them into a coarse powder. Mix the sambal and soy sauce in a separate bowl.

2

Heat the oil and fry the whole garlic cloves for 1 minute until golden, then remove. Increase heat to high, sauté minced ginger and garlic, then add the diced tofu.

3

Stir-fry the tofu until light brown, then add the spice powder, the sambal mixture, the fried garlic cloves, and fresh jalapeño. Toss until the liquid coats the tofu evenly.

4

Remove from heat and stir in fresh mint and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges to brighten the deep spices.
