Description

Pan-fried tofu coated in a sweet sesame garlic glaze. Great in stir fry or noodle/rice bowls. The glaze would also work well on salmon or chicken! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 block extra firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos, tamari)
  • 1 tsp honey (or maple syrup, agave)
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp hoisin
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp ginger

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients (not including the tofu). Chop the tofu into cubes.
  2. Heat a pan on medium heat, and spoon on around a tbsp of glaze. Place the cubbed tofu into the glaze on the pan, and spoon the remaining glaze onto the tofu.
  3. Cook for a few minutes, then flip the tofu, spooning the caramelized glaze from the pan over top of the tofu as it cooks.
  4. Once the glaze has fully coated and cooked on the tofu, you are done! Serve over a bowl of noodles and vegetables, or with a rice stir-fry.
