Instructions

1 Mix together the spring onions, garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce, Chinese 5 spice,
soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil in a large bowl.
2 Cut the tofu into slices, add it to the bowl of sauce and toss well to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. (It can be cooked straight away if
needed).
3 Heat a Tablespoon of oil in a frying pan, lay the slices of tofu in the pan,
reserving the marinade. Fry for about 5 minutes until browned then carefully
flip the tofu over and fry for a couple more minutes until it is browned on that
side as well.
4 Add the reserved marinade to the pan and simmer for a couple of minutes until it
has reduced to a sticky sauce.
5 To assemble the buns, add a couple of slices of tofu to each bun and top with
shredded vegetables, a drizzle of sriracha mayo, a sprinkle of crispy fried
onions and some fresh coriander leaves. Eat right away.
