1. Make the vegan XO sauce first. Heating a saucepan over medium heat with some olive oil. Fry the finely chopped onion until soft, then add the finely chopped garlic and smoked paprika until fragrant.
2. Pour in the white wine and stir well. Reduce the mixture by one-third, then gradually add the muscovado sugar, balsamic vinegar, dark soy sauce, and chili flakes while simmering. Keep reducing until the sauce has halved in volume.
3. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium heat with some olive oil. Fry the tofu until crispy, then remove them from the pan. Add the shredded carrot to the pan and cook until soft, then add the cavolo nero and stir well until cooked.
4. Put the fried tofu back into the pan and add the XO sauce. Stir well and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve with toasted sesame seeds and shredded spring onion, if desired. Enjoy with rice, pasta, or bread.
