Method
Cut the tofu into cubes and pat it dry with paper towels. Grate the carrot, slice the cabbage thinly, cut the cucumber into half-moons and slice the avocado; chop the garlic and ginger.
Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a frying pan and fry the tofu with the cumin and thyme for 8-10 minutes, until golden on all sides. Set aside.
In the same pan stir-fry the cabbage, carrot, garlic and ginger for 4-5 minutes.
Whisk the tahini with the soy sauce, vinegar and a splash of water until you have a creamy dressing.
Toss the tofu with the warm vegetables, add the cucumber and avocado, drizzle with the dressing and sprinkle with chopped basil.
