  1. CHARRED PEPPERS

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pepper strips until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the sliced Cabbage. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. ZESTY VEG MEDLEY

    To the bowl of Cabbage and peppers, toss through the carrot ribbons, the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  3. CORIANDER YOGHURT

    In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with ½ the chopped coriander, a splash of water to loosen, and seasoning. Set aside.

  4. CRISPY TOFU IN TOMATO

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the tofu pieces until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. Mix through the grated Garlic, the tomato paste, and the NOMU rub, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the chilli sauce and 50ml of water, and reduce until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Season and set aside.

  5. NA-CHO AVERAGE NACHO!

    Plate up the charred peppers and Cabbage. Finish off with the spicy tofu and any remaining pan juices. Drizzle over the coriander yoghurt and garnish with the remaining coriander. Serve the nachos on the side for scooping!
