1. Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet. Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces.

2. Mix together the ingredients for the marinade, and marinate the tofu in it for at least 30 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, wash the cucumbers for the Korean cucumber salad and chop off the ends. Place the cucumbers between two chopsticks and chop thinly. The chopsticks prevent the cucumbers from being cut all the way through. Now turn the cucumber 180 degrees and cut again, diagonally from how you cut before. These creates a concertina effect.

4. Now mix the cucumbers with a pinch of salt in a bowl, and leave to infuse for 10 minutes.

5. Mix all the other ingredients to make a dressing, and add to the cucumbers.

6. Mix together all the ingredients for the tahini sauce in a bowl, then set aside.

7. Wash the topping ingredients and, depending on your preference, chop them into bite-sized pieces and slices.

8. Heat a pan and fry the tofu until crispy on all sides.

9. Now that all the components are prepared, you can fill your lunchboxes. The rice forms the basis. Next comes the Korean cucumber salad, then come the toppings and the tofu.

10. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the ingredients just before you eat.

Silken Tofu, Organic, 400g

A Far Eastern specialty that originated in Japan and there bears the name "Kinugoshi" is fine traditional silken tofu. The organic silken tofu from Taifun combines the valuable properties of this special type of tofu. Its consistency is rather soft, smooth and gentle. Therefore, the silken tofu is ideal for the preparation of creamy dishes such as desserts, vegan cheesecakes or lassis. The organic tofu can be easily blended and pureed, made into soups, dips and sauces. Lovers of vegan quiche variants are equally well advised with the Taifun organic silken tofu. The discreet tofu is made from certified organically grown soybeans. The fine-silky product is a true dream ingredient in vegan cuisine due to its smooth properties. Conventional yogurts or cream products can be easily replaced with Taifun silken tofu. You can use it diced as an ingredient for vegetable or Asian soups as well as a chilled dish. Thus, silken tofu is suitable for cooking and preparation at any time of the year. For uncomplicated further processing, it is a good idea to open the packaging along the edge with a pointed knife and turn the tofu out onto the plate like a pudding.

Tahin White, Organic, 250g

The versatility of tahini direct to your door Sesame paste – or simply tahini – is a real asset to any kitchen. This sustainably produced all-rounder of the highest organic quality from TerraSana is available to order here at Velivery. There are two versions of this delicious organic sesame puree: the subtle light and the strong dark version. The light paste is made from roasted and husked sesame seeds and the dark version from roasted, unhusked sesame seeds. Both tahini versions are made from 100% pure sesame, which is essential for quality. Here at Velivery, our customers use both versions of the organic paste in wide range of recipes. You should always give the tahini a good stir in the glass, because the naturally contained oil likes to settle. Originally from the Near to Middle East, tahini has long since found its way into many other cuisines. One reason for this is that, especially in a vegan or generally plant-based diet, the light to dark paste expands culinary horizons enormously. Take for instance the distinct richness it gives simple vegetables. Traditionally, sesame paste is used as an accompaniment to fried food and freshened up with a little lemon, water and herbs until a creamy sauce is formed. It’s an integral part of popular hummus and baba ghanoush recipes. Used in baking, the pure sesame puree gives dough a hearty touch and that aha! effect. But tahini is also a great way of adding typical nutty sesame notes to desserts. Many even enjoy eating it by itself, and it’s often used as a spread. Our Velivery tip: add a little tahini to toasted white bread and top it with fruity jam. Order this versatile delight and kitchen staple direct to your door with Velivery.

Sriracha Chili Sauce is the classic chili sauce with a rather mild heat and the characteristically piquant Flying Goose aroma. All Flying Goose sauces are perfect for seasoning your food or for elevating it to the next level. The sauces are also often used as ingredients in dressings, sauces or marinades. Alongside seasoning, they give dishes a real kick, and can be used in seemingly endless ways. Even experienced cooks use these ready-made sauces as an ingredient for conjuring up taste explosions. These bottles should have a place in everybody’s (vegan) kitchen cupboard! Why not try the whole Flying Goose range?
