View fullsize

This is my forever go-to recipe. Super pantry friendly and vegan. Easy 10 minute from stove to table!

Ingredients:

• 1 pack of firm tofu

• 1/4 cup of soy sauce

• 3 tbsp of rice vinegar

• 3 tbsp of maple syrup / honey 

• 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes

• 1/2 piece of ginger, thinly sliced 

• 3 tbsp of oil

• Scallions (garnish)

What’s Next:

1. Drain the tofu and remove excess liquid with paper towel. Cut into slices with 1/2 inch thickness (size can be to your liking) 

2. Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup or honey, red pepper flakes and ginger into a small bowl. Set aside

3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is rippling across the surface, gently and slowly add tofu, so it doesn't splash! Cook undisturbed until crisp and dark brown on one side, 3-5 minutes. Carefully flip and repeat on the other side. 

4. Spoon the mixture on the tofu pieces. Then flip each slices to make sure both sides are coated. Let sear for 1-2 minutes. Flip again to make sure the other side is crisp as well, 1-2 minutes. 

5. Transfer to plate and top with scallions!
