Add a teaspoon of Chilli sauce and two tablespoons of Chinese sauce, the tomato puree, stir well, now pour in the stock/water.

Add the in the marinated tofu. (now is a perfect time to cook some rice if you'd like too).

Bring to the boil, simmer for 20 mins on a low heat.

Taste and season to how you prefer, add a little extra Chilli sauce if you would like it a bit spicier.

Add the spring onion and the chopped coriander (save a little for presentation), stir well.

Serve and Enjoy,
