Meera Sodha’s recipe for jacket sweet potato with smoked tofu, slaw and crispy chilli mayo | Meera Sodha recipes

<p>Swap in, swap out and, above all, enjoy this punchy, filling and thrifty dish</p><p>No-waste cooking comes in many forms. It doesn’t have to mean cooking banana peel. To me, it means finishing a bag of potatoes before they grow eyes, and making the most of that last awkward bit of cabbage. Even finding a cheeky new way with the sauces and condiments already in the fridge. Using ingredients you’ve already got to make a new recipe is, in my opinion, the most “no waste” of them all. So here’s permission from me to make substitutes – herb for herb, veg for veg, or anything you’ve already got – to make this recipe work for you.</p><p>Join Meera Sodha at a special <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/guardian-live-events/2025/sep/24/an-evening-of-guardian-culture-with-tim-dowling-stuart-heritage-and-meera-sodha">event</a> celebrating the best of Guardian culture on Wednesday 26 November, hosted by <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/aug/03/comedian-nish-kumar-looks-back">Nish Kumar </a>and alongside writers <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/profile/stuart-heritage">Stuart Heritage</a> and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/profile/timdowling">Tim Dowling</a>, with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/profile/georgina-lawton">Georgina Lawton</a> hosting <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/series/you-be-the-judge">You Be The Judge</a> live.
