WICKED GARLIC TOFU SAUTE

Amazingly fast and tasty recipe, very healthy too. Even the husband (not normally a huge tofu fan) enjoys it. I love it with tons of garlic but you can use less if you must. The oyster sauce I don't measure so it's approximate. It's pretty salty so use it to your taste. You could serve it with cooked white rice, but it's just as good plain.

GARLIC GINGER TOFU

From All Recipes. I don't think I would cook this for a full 30 minutes. Update: This works as written, but I think it would be easier to marinate the tofu in the ginger, garlic and soy sauce and then add it to a greased pan. Very tasty though.

Crispy Garlic and Ginger Tofu image

Provided by Andie Mitchell

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 garlic cloves (minced)
16- ounce block extra firm tofu (pressed, dried, and sliced into ¼-inch thick pieces)
1 tablespoon canola oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk all marinade ingredients. Lay the slices of tofu in a shallow pan and pour the marinade over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu in a single layer and let them cook for about 8 minutes per side. Check the underside of one of the pieces after 4 minutes to ensure they don't burn. The tofu should develop a dark, crisp crust. Remove the tofu from the pan, place it on a serving plate, and pour the remaining marinade in the pan. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring frequently, until it has thickened into a glossy syrup. Pour the thickened sauce over the tofu and serve.

Tips:

  • Use firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape during cooking and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will help remove excess water from the tofu, resulting in a firmer texture.
  • Marinate the tofu before cooking. This will help infuse the tofu with flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stir-fry. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Cook the tofu and vegetables over high heat. This will help create a slightly crispy exterior on the tofu and vegetables.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately. This will ensure that the tofu and vegetables are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Garlic ginger tofu stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The tofu is a good source of protein and calcium, while the vegetables provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
