Crunchy Garlic Tofu (FM)

Recipes | November 12, 2017

*yields one portion

Ingredients:
1 package firm tofu (14 – 16oz)
5 tbsp arrow root powder
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp avocado oil
10 garlic cloves, minced
1 heaping tbsp ginger, minced
1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 red onion sliced into rounds
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp maple syrup
Salt & Pepper

Instructions:

1. Cut tofu into small cubes and use paper towel to soak up as much liquid from the tofu as possible.

2. Place the tofu cubes into a bowl, sprinkle them with arrowroot powder and shake the bowl to coat them evenly. Set aside.

3. Heat 1/4 cup avocado oil in a large non stick sauce pan over medium heat and then add the coated tofu. It should sizzle when you add it. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 9-10 minutes until golden brown.

4. Take out of the pan and place on a brown paper (or paper bag placed on a plate) to soak up the oil.

5. Use the same pan, add the remaining tbsp avocado oil and saute the onions and jalapeño until they become soft. Then add the ginger, garlic and sesame oil and saute for another minute.

6. Add the tofu back into the pan, stir to combine and drizzle with maple syrup. Cook for another minute and then serve.
