Tofu in Lip-Smacking Sauce
Tofu in Lip-Smacking Sauce is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for vegans and vegetarians. This dish is made with tofu, which is a great source of protein and is low in fat. The lip-smacking sauce is made with a combination of soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, which gives it a sweet and spicy flavor.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 block of firm tofu, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of water
- Green onions, chopped (optional)
To start, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until they are golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is fragrant. Add the water and bring the sauce to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and stir until the sauce thickens.
Add the tofu back to the skillet and toss to coat it in the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the tofu is heated through.
Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve hot.
This dish is a perfect combination of sweet and spicy flavors, and the tofu is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is a great appetizer or main dish and can be served with rice or noodles.
