Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Cut the sweet potatoes into fries. Place onto a baking tray and toss with 1/2 tbsp oil, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Bake for 20-25 mins, until soft and golden, turning halfway.
  2. Trim and cut the radishes into thin rounds for garnish. Slice the spring onions into 3cm pieces. Drain the tofu, pat dry with paper towel and cut into 1cm cubes. Heat a frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on high heat. Add the tofu and spring onions and cook for 8-10 mins, turning occasionally, until golden. Season with sea salt, then remove from the pan and keep warm.
  3. Trim and cut the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Heat a medium frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and cook for 2 mins. Add half the vinegar, maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt. Cook for 1 min, then transfer to a serving bowl.
  4. Once the fries are cooked, add the tofu, spring onions and kimchi to the tray. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Toss everything together.
  5. Serve on plates garnished with yoghurt, sesame seeds, cheez and radishes with the cabbage on the side.
