Instructions

Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cube it, season, and roast over medium-high heat until well browned, about 7 minutes.

Add the carrots, cooking until softened, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the chili and star anise for a final minute.

Warm the baguette separately.

Let the tofu simmer for about 19 minutes so the flavors meld.

Toss through the cilantro just before serving.

Serve hot over the baguette, garnished with fresh herbs.
