Crispy Baked Tofu Knots With Peanut Butter Miso Dressing Recipe

Tofu loves spicy notes and it loves rich nutty flavours – bring these two elements together and we have this dan dan noodle inspired dish of crispy baked tofu with an incredibly delicious dressing. This is just ridiculously tasty on our noodles and crispy tofu knots as a satisfying veggie dinner that packs a punch of flavour. 

Here our tofu knots are baked in the oven for a healthier alternative to frying and means you can get on with your sauces and accompaniments whilst the tofu knots are baking away in the oven. Baking tofu knots before adding them to curries is also a great way to add more texture.

For best results, tofu knots should be soaked in cold water for at least 2 hours. Alternatively, leave them overnight in the fridge in a sealed container of water to soak.
