Still looking for the ultimate spring recipe? That is now a thing of the past, because we have created the perfect recipe for you!
Ingredients
- 250 g tofu
- Soy sauce for marinating
Ingredients for the batter
- 80 g spelt flour
- 8 g barley grass powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Salt, pepper
- Turmeric, paprika powder
- 1/8 l sparkling mineral water
- a little plant-based milk or water
- chopped sunflower seeds
Ingredients for the spring salad
- red lettuce
- radishes
- white asparagus
- mushrooms
- sunflower seeds
Ingredients for the salad dressing
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp vinegar (balsamic)
- 2 tbsp hemp oil
- Salt, pepper
Preparation
- Wrap the tofu in a clean tea towel and weigh it down for about 10 minutes so the moisture can drain well. Then cut into thin sticks and marinate with soy sauce.
- Mix all ingredients for the batter until you get a thick, dripping batter. (Tip: It is best to stir in the liquid carefully in small amounts until the mixture has the desired consistency). The barley grass powder makes the batter an intense green, but this will change again when frying. Then let the batter rest.
- Wash the lettuce well, slice the radishes and, at the same time, toast the mushrooms in a pan. (Tip: Lightly toasted sunflower seeds also add a very good aroma!)
- Peel the white asparagus, cut into small pieces and cook in water with a little salt, sugar and lemon juice until al dente.
- In the meantime, whisk together all ingredients for the salad dressing and then pour it over the prepared salad.
- Heat a little sunflower oil in the pan and place the tofu sticks coated in batter into the hot pan one by one (Tip: The sunflower seeds can either be mixed into the batter right away or sprinkled over the finished sticks afterwards!)
- As soon as the tofu sticks are crispy and light brown, turn them once, let them drain briefly and serve immediately with the spring salad. Caution: This happens very quickly, so it is best to keep an eye on them so the sticks do not burn!
You can also make the sticks in the oven. To do so, simply place the batter-coated sticks on a prepared baking tray and sprinkle a few sunflower seeds over them. However, the sticks will be much crispier in the pan!
Enjoy! 🙂
