Ingredients
Scale
Tofu
- 1 block Firm Tofu
Creamy Sauce
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 cup Vegetable Stock
Garnish
- 2 Green Onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Begin by draining the firm tofu and pressing it to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
- Cook the Tofu: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil, and sauté the tofu cubes until golden brown and crispy on all sides. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and vegetable stock. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Combine: Once the tofu is crispy and the sauce is ready, pour the creamy sauce over the tofu in the skillet. Mix gently to coat the tofu evenly and allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil over the top. Your Creamy Sizzling Tofu Recipe is now ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
- Press Tofu Well: Make sure to press the tofu properly for a firmer texture and better flavor absorption.
- Control the Heat: Keep an eye on the heat while cooking the tofu to avoid burning; medium heat works best.
- Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of vegetable stock or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and ginger make a significant difference in taste, so opt for fresh whenever possible.
- Let it Rest: Allow the tofu to sit in the sauce for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors deepen.
