PARBOIL
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced with a fork but still firm, 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
TOAST & PREP
Place the Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. Loosen the sweet chilli mayo in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
SMASHED POTATOES
Spread the parboiled potatoes on a lightly greased roasting tray. Using a fork, gently press down, splitting the skin, but keeping them in one piece. Drizzle over some oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes.
PREP
Prepare three shallow dishes: one containing the tofu crumb (lightly seasoned), one containing the almond milk, and the last one with the fine Corn Flakes. Coat the diced tofu in the seasoned flour, dusting off any excess flour. Coat in the almond milk, and lastly the cornflakes.
CRISPY TOFU
Return the pan to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed tofu until golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season.
JUST BEFORE SERVING
In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, the Cucumber ribbons, a drizzle of olive oil, and season.
DINNER IS READY
Make a bed of the Cucumber mix, top with smashed potatoes, and scatter over the golden tofu. Drizzle over the sweet chilli mayo, and sprinkle over the toasted almonds and the sliced spring onions. Well done, Chef!
