Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm fries. Place the fries on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle with the mixed sesame seeds, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat then bake until tender, 25-30 minutes. TIP: Cut the potato to the correct size to ensure it cooks in the allocated time.
While the fries are baking, thinly slice the pear. Thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Drain the Korean tofu and reserve 2 tbs of the marinade. In a small bowl, combine the reserved Korean marinade with 1/2 the garlic aioli.
In a shallow bowl, add the plain flour and the salt. In a second shallow bowl, place the remaining garlic aioli. In a third shallow bowl place the panko breadcrumbs. Gently dip the tofu into the flour, followed by the aioli, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
When the fries have 5 minutes cook time remaining, heat enough olive oil to coat the base of a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the crumbed tofu and cook until golden, 2-3 minutes each side. Season with salt and pepper and set aside on a plate lined with paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people) and season with salt and pepper. Add the pear, cucumber, mixed salad leaves and crispy shallots to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat. TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
Divide the crumbed tofu schnitzel between plates. Serve with the sesame fries, pear salad and Korean aioli on the side.
