Directions

  1. 1

    Mix the stock, soy sauce, oil, garlic and onion granules and dried sage together in a dish or container. Add the tofu strips and mix around gently to coat in the marinade. Leave to marinate for as long as you can.

  2. 2

    Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a bowl and whisk well. Add more lemon/vinegar/seasoning as needed.

  3. 3

    Wash the kale and drain well, spin or pat dry. Add to a large bowl with the evoo, lemon juice and salt. Scrunch and release the kale with your hands continuously until it’s darker in colour and tastes more tender. It should take a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Brush a griddle pan with oil and put onto a medium-high heat. Add the tofu strips and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden with griddle marks. Once cooked, dip back into the remaining marinade and leave until you’re ready to serve.

  5. 5

    Toss the kale with the dressing until well coated and then mix through the tofu and croutons. Finish with a sprinkle of cashew parmesan.
