Ingredients
- 6 ounces firm tofu
- 2Â tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 green onion
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
Preparation
- Slice the tofu into 4 rectangle slices. Pat each piece dry with a paper towel.
- Heat a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on high heat.
- Add the tofu and reduce to low-medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once the bottom of each piece is golden brown, turn it over and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown.Â
- To make the dipping sauce mince the garlic and chop the green onion. Combine minced garlic, chopped green onion, sugar or honey, reduced-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil and hot pepper flakes (optional) in a small mixing bowl.
Helpful hints
- Be cautious with reduced-sodium soy sauce, it does still contain high amounts of sodium.
- You may substitute sugar for the honey.
- If you prefer, leave out the hot pepper flakes.
