Instructions
Crispy Tofu
Press tofu with paper towels to remove water
Mix together all other items in a bowl
Tear tofu into small pieces (2cm-ish) and mix into the seasoning to coat
Heat olive oil in a fry pan, add tofu and fry until liquid is gone and tofu is crispy. Use a fish slice to turn pieces to make sure all sides brown.
Corn Salsa
If using frozen corn, pour boiling water over corn and leave for 5 minutes until defrosted - drain
Mix all items in a bowl
Sour Cream
Cover cashews with boiling water, leave for 10 minutes then drain
Blend all ingredients except yoghurt in a high speed blender, then stir in the yoghurt.
Refrigerate. Sour cream will thicken up as it is refrigerated.
Pickled Red Onion
Put all ingredients in a jar. You can use the onions immediately, or refrigerate and use when needed.
Tacos
Heat tacos over gas flame, or in a dry pan for a minute or 2 each side (less if doing on the flame - they can catch fire quickly!) and assemble
