Instructions

Oil an 8x8 baking dish and set aside. Whisk the chickpea flour, salt, turmeric and 1 cup water in a saucepan and let rest for 15 minutes. Whisk occasionally to break up lumps. When the 15 minutes are up, whisk in 2 additional cups of water. Heat the pan and bring to a simmer. Whisk to keep the mixture smooth and let simmer on low heat for 8 minutes. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and smooth it over. Place in the fridge to set (about 30 minutes). Meanwhile, prepare the spicy sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a small bowl. When the tofu is set, cut it into 15 small rectangles and saute in an oiled pan on medium-high heat. Turn each piece until browned on all sides. Top with sesame seeds and serve with spicy sauce.

Need a change from your regular soy-based tofu? Switch it up with this chickpea flour version that pairs perfectly with a spicy, gingery dipping sauce.

Simply simmer, set in the fridge and sear on the pan until gold and crispy. Sprinkle all over with roasted sesame seeds and enjoy as a healthy appetizer or side dish.
