10 Min.

Preparation

1. Prepare & Shave Tofu:
Wrap the firm tofu in a kitchen towel and press thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to shave the block lengthwise into paper-thin, rustic strips.

2. Cornstarch Coating for Crunch:
Place the shaved tofu strips into a large bowl. Sprinkle evenly with cornstarch and toss gently until every strip is lightly coated.

3. Marinate:
Whisk together the oil, soy sauce, tomato paste, and all spices to form a thick marinade. Pour over the tofu and gently mix using your hands or two spoons until every piece is coated.

4. Bake:
Preheat your oven to 200 °C fan. Spread the marinated tofu strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, avoiding overcrowding.

5. Roast:
Roast the tofu doner meat for about 20 to 25 minutes. Flip the strips halfway through to ensure evenly browned and crispy edges.
