Description
A delightful dish featuring tofu marinated in a sweet and savory maple glaze, perfect for any dinnertime.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Press the tofu: Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place something heavy on top and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes.
- Cut the tofu: Slice the pressed tofu into bite-sized pieces, such as cubes or triangles.
- Whisk the marinade: In a bowl, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger, and whisk until blended.
- Marinate the tofu: Place the tofu in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Cook the tofu: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add olive oil, and cook the marinated tofu for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Finish with glaze: Remove the tofu, pour in remaining marinade, and let it bubble until thickened. Drizzle over the cooked tofu.
- Rest and serve: Allow the tofu to rest for a few minutes before serving on a bed of rice or quinoa.
Notes
You can substitute honey or agave syrup for maple syrup if needed. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
