4 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp groundnut oil
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tbsp honey
1/2 a red chilli

method:
- Whisk together all the ingredients in the braising liquor and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp of groundnut oil in a wok until smoking hot and add in the tofu, red pepper slices and dried chilli. Stir-fry for two minutes until light brown.
- Add in the rice wine or dry sherry and allow the liquor to bubble and reduce, until it evaporates the alcohol off.

- Serve with rice noodles and slices of mango with plenty of the cooking liquor spooned over.
