Asian Garlic Tofu

She doesn’t like beans so tofu is a major source of protein for her. I actually really like to cook with tofu and eat it as well. I love that it has a very neutral flavor that lends itself to being paired with all kinds of seasonings and ingredients.

One more trick to crispy tofu is cooking it in a cast iron pan and heating it well before you add the tofu. Move the tofu around as little as possible. I let it get a nice sear on the bottom and then flip the pieces and let them get a sear on a second side.

Ingredients

• 1 package super firm tofu
• 1/4 cup Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• green onions for garnish
• rice for serving

Instructions

1. Remove tofu from packaging. Place about 4 paper towels on a plate. Set tofu on top of plate and cover with more paper towels. Place a cast iron pan or something else that is heavy on top. Let sit 30 minutes.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
