Stir-Fried Tofu Traybake

This American Comfort Traybake leans on buttermilk and herb to do the heavy lifting. We stir-fry the Tofu for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the buttermilk and herb elements, and pat the tofu dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the firm tofu and stir-fry until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the buttermilk and the rest of the buttermilk and herb flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the kale along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped parsley and serve while hot.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
