This is for those who love a simple plate of blistered padron peppers but want a bit more flavour in their life. It's got a perfect balance of aromatics with savoury, sweet and spicy notes. Better yet, it's stupidly easy to throw together.

Method

  • Prepare all the aromatics then heat a medium-large frying pan over a high heat.
  • Add the sesame oil and once hot add the padron peppers and fry until blistered and charred on all sides.
  • Once blistered turn down the heat and add the garlic, ginger, sliced chillis and spring onions. Stir fry for a few minutes until the aromatics soften and mellow.
  • Add the rice vinegar, soy sauce and agave and stir everything together to fully coat the peppers. Turn the heat off.
  • Blend the ingredients for the whipped tofu then serve topped with
