Fried Hot Tofu
And now, a vegan dish coming to us right from the Asian cuisine. This one is centered on the protein-rich soybean plant. You’ll use it in the form of firm tofu, sweet-salty hoisin sauce, and soy sauce. Spike with chili and ginger, stir-fry, and you won’t be sorry. It can be used in a low-carb diet, or even as a side dish over some meat. It’s up to you, really.
Ingredients Needed for Fried Hot Tofu
10 ounces of tofu, cubed
½ tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon chili flakes
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 spring onion, chopped (for garnishing)
How to Make Fried Hot Tofu
- Place the cubed tofu between paper towels and let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Add the hoisin and soy sauce, ginger, chili flakes, and olive oil to a bowl. Mix them until even. Add the cubed tofu and mix more to entirely coat it.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then transfer the coated tofu to it. Stir-fry until seared.
- Optionally, serve garnished with chopped spring onion.
