Tofu with Five Spices Honey Glaze

Ingredients (serves 2):
1 block semi-soft tofu
corn flour for dusting

Sauce
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 star anise
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon Alce Nero organic honey
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
100ml chicken stock
1 teaspoon potato starch for thickening

Garnishing:
Shallot crisps
Spring onion/coriander/Thai basil, chopped

Method:
Coat the tofu with corn flour and deep fry in oil over medium heat until golden in colour. Remove and set aside. To prepare sauce: Heat oil in a wok or saucepan and sauté the garlic until aromatic and add the star anise. Combine the remaining sauce ingredients (except potato starch) and mix well, seasoning to taste with the soy sauce, honey and pepper. Tip into the wok and simmer for about 5 minutes. Mix the potato starch with a little water to form a solution and add to the sauce; bring to boil and turn off heat. Pour the sauce over the beancurd and garnish with shallot crisps and spring onions.
