Ingredients
20 oz tofu, firm, pressed
2 tbsp soy sauce, reduced-sodium
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp honey, can be agave syrup or maple syrup
1 tsp rice vinegar
½ tsp ginger, ground
½ tsp hoisin sauce
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
¼ tsp mixed sesame seeds, toasted
¼ tsp green onions, thinly sliced
Preparation
Combine sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, ground ginger, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cut the tofu into half-thick pieces. Cut both pieces in half again, so they are ¼ -inch thick, forming the shape of squares. Slice each piece diagonally to form 2 triangles.
Transfer to a shallow pan and coat with sauce. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
In a wide skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat, sear the marinated tofu, turning the side frequently until they are nicely brown.
Garnish the tofu with minced onions and sesame seeds. You can also serve the remaining sauce as well.
