Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 lb tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes and patted dry
2 stalks lemongrass, very white bottoms only and finely minced
2 -3 tablespoons sambal oelek chili paste
2 tablespoons peanut oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil
salt
black sesame seeds (or combination of both) or white sesame seeds (or combination of both)

Steps:

  • Combine the chili paste and lemongrass.
  • Season tofu with salt then coat with chili paste/lemongrass mixture. Allow the tofu to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot enough; carefully add the tofu cubes. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until carmelized, careful not to crowd. Remove from oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Note: 1. Soft tofu produces a better 'bite', but firm tofu produces a crispier end product. 2. I might even consider sprinkling on the sesame seeds prior to cooking just as a test.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. The tofu was flavorful and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a big fan of tofu, but this dish was really good. The sauce was flavorful and the tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Loved this recipe! The lemongrass and chili gave it a great flavor. I served it over rice and it was the perfect meal.
