How long does Honey Chilli Tofu keep in the fridge?

Honey Chilli Tofu keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Honey Chilli Tofu ahead of time?

Honey Chilli Tofu is best served fresh; it comes together in about 25 minutes, so prep your ingredients ahead and cook just before serving. Pre-chopping the aromatics and measuring spices can cut active time in half.

What can I serve with Honey Chilli Tofu?

Classic pairings include fried-rice. For a complete indo-chinese thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
