  • 80 grams

    pine nuts


  • 1 tablespoon

    dry sherry


  • 1 tablespoon

    gluten-free soy sauce


  • 1 tablespoon

    rice wine vinegar


  • 4 tablespoons

    gluten-free hoisin sauce


  • 1 teaspoon

    sriracha (more if you can handle heat)


  • 1 teaspoon

    arrowroot flour


  • 1/2

    carrots, diced


  • 2

    zucchinis, diced


  • 100 grams

    green beans, diced


  • Gem lettuce, to serve

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
  2. Cut the tofu into 6-8 even-sized pieces and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
  3. While tofu is in the oven, gently toast the pine nuts in a wide-based saucepan. Set aside.
  4. Add dry sherry, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, hoisin sauce and sriracha into a small bowl and whisk. Add arrowroot and mix until combined. Set aside.
  5. Remove tofu from oven and let cool. Once cooled, use your hands to break up/crumble the tofu.
  6. Heat some oil in a saucepan and add the onions. Saute for 10 minutes before adding the garlic and ginger. Once browned and fragrant, add carrot, zucchini and green beans and cook a further 5-8 minutes.
  7. Add the tofu crumbles and pine nuts before adding the sauce ingredients to the pan. Cook until sauce thickens – approx. 5 minutes.
  8. Serve in lettuce leaves with fresh Thai basil.
