Set up a dipping station with one bowl of corn flour and one bowl of batter. To create the batter, combine sparkling water, plain flour, a pinch of salt , a tablespoon of seaweed flakes and whisk.
Coat each piece of tofu in corn flour, followed by the batter. Add each piece of tofu to a deep fat fryer or an oiled pan for shallow frying.
Once golden brown on one side flip and repeat.
For the tartare: Combine the vegan mayonnaise, gherkins and capers. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
For the peas: Boil and drain the peas, add the mint leaves, mayonnaise and white wine vinegar. Blitz with a hand blender to a rough consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
For the potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into slices, leaving the skins on.
Lay the potato slices on a baking tray. Season with salt and pepper and a generous pour of olive oil.
