Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings:
- 400 grams block extra-firm tofu
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Quickly press the tofu by cutting it into cubes and placing them evenly on a flat surface lined with paper towels. Add another layer of paper towels, place a baking sheet and something heavy on top, and press for 15 minutes.
- While pressing, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
- After pressing, place the tofu in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator or overnight for more flavor.
- Heat a few tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to cook the tofu. Remove the tofu from the marinade and fry it until golden brown on each side.
- Pour any leftover marinade into the pan with the tofu and stir to coat. This will make the tofu even more flavorful as it quickly absorbs the sauce.
- Serve this versatile tofu over rice, noodles, or salad greens.
- Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flair.
Let this Marinated Tofu recipe be your delicious ally in maintaining hydration and enjoying a healthy, balanced diet.
