DIRECTIONS
Grate the tofu and carrot and pop in a bowl for later. In another small bowl, whisk together tamari sauce, maple, vinegar, sesame oil and red pepper flakes,
In a large pan over medium-high heat. Add oil, onion, garlic, and ginger - stir continuously until the onion has softened.
Add the tofu and carrot and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add in the tamari sauce mixture until the liquid has been mostly absorbed into the tofu.
