Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    The sauce is quite tasty, subtly sweet from the dates and soy sauce and sour from the rice vinegar. Best to purchase good quality firm tofu To get an even crispness and it's important to season the slices. I've made the date sauce separately and served it as a condiment for BBQ pork chops and other meats. It's really worth making the date sauce from scratch rather than purchasing although probably you could use date molasses as a sub with different proportions of the other ingredients.
