METHOD

The Chilli Factory’s Outback Storm, which is sold in butcher and deli stores around Australia for $9 a jar, is a mild-to-hot relish, with the roast tomato and basil creating a smoky, char-grilled flavour.

To make the dish, Bianca – who blogs under @_thedailyfoodfeed – started by cutting the firm tofu into triangles before coating them with mustard, lupin crumbs, and mixed white and black sesame seeds.

‘Ensure that everything is covered and bake in the oven for 15 minutes,’ she said.

Next, she whisked together the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, tahini, peanut butter and a tablespoon of the chilli relish until it’s smooth.

In a bowl, she seasoned the thinly sliced cucumber with salt and set them aside for five to 10 minutes. She then squeezed out the excess water, and dressed with rice wine vinegar and set aside.

She fried off the broccoli, mushrooms and edamame in a pan with sesame oil until they start to soften.

Bianca added the chilli sauce, sesame and peanut butter to the pan and fried until fully coated and thickened. She removed the pan from the heat and tossed the cooked soba noodles in.

She added the sauce and tossed until well combined. Bianca served the dish with the baked tofu, pickled cucumber and shallots.

The dish is vegan but home cooks can add any protein they like.

After sharing her recipe on Instagram, many foodies said they couldn’t wait to make the dish at home.

‘This looks incredible – so many flavours,’ one wrote, while another said: ‘This is such a beautiful bowl.’

And another woman added: ‘Looking incredible – need to try it myself. 1
