1tbsp groundnut oil

1tbsp sesame oil

Method

1
Cut the tofu into small cubes, put on a piece of triple-thickness kitchen paper and cover with another 3 layers. Press gently with the palm of your hand to remove some of the excess moisture.
2
Put half of both oils in a frying pan and cook the tofu for 5-10 mins until it starts to colour, then set aside to drain on clean kitchen paper.
3
Meanwhile, heat the rest of the oil in a large pan and cook the spring onions, chilli and ginger over a low heat for 5 mins, stirring often.
4
Add the mushrooms, stock cube, soy sauce, star anise and 1L water. Heat until simmering, then partially cover the pan and simmer for 5 mins.
5
Add the tofu and simmer gently for another 5 mins. Sprinkle with coriander leaves and serve.
