Cooking Steps
Slice the pear (unpeeled) into thin matchsticks. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Cut the Japanese tofu into 1cm cubes. Cut the cucumber into 0.5cm strips. Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). Grate the carrot (unpeeled).
In a medium bowl, combine the pear, shredded red cabbage and garlic aioli and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside. TIP: Preparing the slaw first allows the cabbage to soften by the time you're ready to serve.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic, honey, soy sauce and mixed sesame seeds.
In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook for 2 minutes, turning regularly, or until browned. Add the honey-soy glaze to the pan and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until slightly sticky.
While the tofu is cooking, heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, or until warmed through.
Take everything to the table. Assemble tacos with slaw, cucumber, carrot and tofu. Drizzle with the Japanese dressing and garnish with the long red chilli (if using) and crispy shallots.
