Gather @firm tofu{500%g}, @vegetable oil{4%tbsp} and @black pepper{}.

Pat the tofu cubes very dry, then fry in the oil over medium-high heat, turning, until golden and crisp on most sides, about 6 minutes. Lift out and drain. ~{6%minutes}

Melt the @sugar{2%tbsp} in a clean pan over medium heat until it turns a deep amber, swirling the pan rather than stirring. ~{3%minutes}

Add the @garlic{4%clove} and @shallot{2} and stir 30 seconds in the caramel.

Stir in the @canned @tomato{1}{1%can} and fresh tomato wedges and simmer 6–7 minutes until jammy and reduced. ~{7%minutes}

Season with @soy sauce{3%tbsp} and pepper, then fold in the fried tofu and simmer 3 minutes so it drinks up the sauce. ~{3%minutes}

Scatter with @spring onion{2} and serve hot over rice.
