This is a shout out to all my veggie friends. I can’t wait to make this tofu bowl of heaven at home this week. It could be an excellent lunch, too! Image and recipe via Buried Carrots.
Ingredients
3 Tbsp Canola oil
1 14oz package firm tofu, drained and cubed
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 shallots, finely chopped
3 Serrano chiles, seeded and minced
5 Tbsp soy sauce
1 ½ Tbsp freshly grated ginger
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp maple syrup
8 scallions cut into 1 inch pieces
2 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a large skillet over medium heat 2 Tbsp canola oil. Add the tofu and pan fry, tossing tofu frequently until all sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Set tofu aside. In the same pan heat the remaining 1 Tbsp oil. Add the garlic, shallots, Serrano chiles, and ginger. Stirring frequently, cook until ingredients are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the soy sauce, sugar, and maple syrup and heat through. Add the tofu and black pepper. Stir to combine. Serve over steamed rice.
