MAPLE TOFU
SERVES: 1 person
TIME: 10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
-Quarter block of firm or extra firm tofu
-2 tbsp of maple syrup
-2 tsp of liquid amino acids (or soy sauce if you prefer)
-3 tbsp of gluten free flour (or corn starch)
-1 tsp of sesame seeds
-1 tsp of sesame oil
STEPS
First, drain the water from the tofu block. Then, cut a quarter of the tofu block off and wrap the quarter in a paper towel to extract any excess water.
Once, that is done, you can cut the quarter block of tofu into strips and cover each strip with gluten free flour.
After each strip is covered in flour, pour your oil onto a pan and place the pan onto the stove top.
Let the pan get to a medium temperature, then add the flour covered tofu strips to the pan.
While they are cooking, prepare the sauce by combining the maple syrup, liquid amino acids, and sesame seeds in a bowl.
Once your sauce is done, flip the tofu strips to the other side so they are evenly cooked. The tofu should be done when the outside begins to brown.
After the tofu is done, turn the heat off on the stove top and add the sauce to the pan.
Then, place the tofu on a plate or over rice and enjoy!
QUICK TIP: If you would like to store your leftover, "uncooked" tofu, put it in a container and add water to it so that it doesn't go bad as quickly.
