Drain the tofu, then wrap it in kitchen paper and put it on a plate with a second plate plate on top. Weigh it down with one of the tins of lentils and leave for 30 minutes to allow any extra moisture to drain out, then cut into 8 thick slices.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the remaining tofu ingredients except the oil. Add the tofu slices and toss together. Cover and set aside in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
