Sesame Ginger Tofu (Whole Foods Recipe)

Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 2

14 oz. extra firm tofu
1/3 cup honey
3 Tbsp tamari (or soy sauce)
3 Tbsp finely chopped ginger
2 Tbsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 cloves finely chopped garlic
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup cornstarch or flour
1 Tbsp canola/vegetable/olive oil
1/4 cup sesame seeds
6 green onions, diced

Wrap the tofu in paper towels and place between two cutting boards for about 20 minutes to drain the water.

Put honey, tamari, ginger, sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, and pepper flakes into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and keep warm.

Dry drained tofu with paper towels and cut into strips. Dust very lightly on all sides with cornstarch or flour. Fry tofu in a deep skillet with oil until a golden brown on each side. Toss fried tofu with sauce and serve with diced green onions and sesame seeds.

Serve with your favorite side dish like kale salad.
