BBQ tofu and pak choi with tamari and ginger dressing
Having a BBQ this weekend and need some inspiration for a vegetarian dish? This is IT! Korean-style pak choi and tofu. Korean food is a harmonious blending of sweet, spicy and sour flavours. This recipe, although very simple, shows the core Korean balance and the Pak Choi is the perfect vehicle for sweet chilli and garlic flavours.
