Tofu Stir-Fry
Prep time: 10 minutes
Marinade Time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Yields: 4 people
Ingredients:
-
1 pound firm tofu 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 tablespoons sesame oil
Marinade:
-
1 tablespoon ginger juice
-
1/2 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
-
1/2 cup brown rice vinegar
-
1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
-
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
-
2 cloves shredded garlic
Directions:
-
After draining, cut tofu into 1-inch squares.
-
Combine ginger juice, tamari, vinegar, oil, cilantro and garlic in a medium-sized bowl.
-
Add tofu to marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
-
Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a skillet.
-
Add tofu and quick stir-fry until tofu becomes golden brown.
Notes:
-
Try pressing the tofu 15-60 minutes. This will increase the ability of the tofu to absorb flavor and will make the tofu crispier. To press tofu, place it in a strainer over a bowl. Cover tofu with a plate and place a heavy object on top, pressing the tofu.
-
To make ginger juice, grate about 2 inches of ginger into a piece of cheesecloth or a dishtowel. Wrap the cloth or towel around the ginger and squeeze into bowl.
