This tofu, based on the Burmese variety typically made from chickpea flour, is very quick and easy to make from store cupboard ingredients. It can be adapted to use other pulse flours as Victoria has done here with green pea flour. |
The fermentation step (leaving the batter to sit overnight) can be skipped if you’re in a rush. But this extra step does improves the flavour, texture and nutritional availability.
This recipe makes a firm tofu that can be used in much the same way as a firm soy tofu. But unlike soy tofu it has a wonderfully smooth, pillowy interior when pan fried or baked, though it can be a little tricky to cook in a one-pot stir fry. Victoria suggests pan frying the tofu separately then tossing it in with the other ingredients at the end.
The tofu can be flavoured with different spices, by incorporating into the batter when cooking it out. So have a play around!

This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.

Orfhlaith Noone's addition of Guinness to Irish soda bread give it a modern twist, lending a deep, malty flavour to the loaf. This bread is the perfect accompaniment to hearty Irish dishes like seafood chowders, beef stews, soups, or simply with a smear of salted butter - Irish only, please!

Gently tipping its hat to gyeran bap (Korean fried eggs and rice), this is a very easy but satisfying supper. The difference here is Isabella Palmer's use of wholegrain black wheat instead of rice as a full-of-fibre wholegrain, as well as cooking it from scratch in the toasty sesame sauce.
