2. Add Onion & Garlic into fry pan & fry for 2 minutes. Add Turmeric Chilli spice blend, Sesame seeds & combine for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add chicken strips into fry pan & cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centre.

SIMPLE SALT AND PEPPER TOFU (GOLDEN NUGGETS)

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tsp. Golden Grind Turmeric Latte Blend
• 400 g of Firm Organic Tofu
• ¼ cup of Tapioca Flour
• 1-2 pinches of Sea salt
• ½ tsp of Pepper
• Coconut oil (for pan frying)

METHOD

1. Dice Firm Tofu into 2 cm cubes and set aside.
2. Combine Tapioca Flour, Turmeric Blend and salt and pepper well in a mixing bowl.
3. Add Tofu cubes into the Flour mixture, and toss until well combined. Ensure to let them sit for a minute or two, and then repeat the toss again. This will ensure the tofu doesn’t stick together and is evenly covered with a golden batter before frying.
4. In a Non-stick fry pan, heat the pan to medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add about 2-3 tbls of Coconut oil for frying. You want to make sure the whole pan is covered with a very thin layer of Coconut oil.
5. Add Tofu pieces so they cover the pan and let them sizzle for about 3-4 minutes on each side- or until they are lightly golden brown. You may notice the pieces ‘gluing’ together. This is just the nature of tapioca flour, embrace it I say! It makes flipping the pieces all together quite convenient.
6. Once they are all golden and crispy, remove and place on a plate to slightly cool.
7. Serve on top of your favourite salad, or use to replace a meat or protein source!
