Ok, I know tofu isn't every one's first choice in protein, but this is a great recipe and super easy. Throw it over some brown rice or stir fry vegetables and you are ready to rock and roll. Don't expect too many meat filled recipes from me, but I promise to post great meatless options...Bon Appetit!
Ingredients
One 18-ounce package firm tofu
2 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon Korean chile powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Preparation
Remove the tofu from its package and let it drain in a colander or on its side in a bowl.
Combine the green onions and garlic in a small bowl. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and chile powder and mix.
Cut the tofu cube lengthwise in half, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Carefully place the tofu slices in the skillet. Cook until the tofu is slightly browned on the bottom and getting a bit crispy on the edges, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the slices over and brown the other side.
Reduce the heat and spoon the seasoning over the tofu, distributing it somewhat evenly. Cover and let steam for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
Variation: If you like your food to have a bit of a kick, finely chop 1/2 jalapeño (remove the seeds, of course) and add it to the soy mixture.
