Ingredients
1 Block Extra Firm Tofu, pressed and cubed (to press, place the tofu block on a plate and cover with a few paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy pan on top of the towel for at least 30 minutes.)
2 Tbsp. Cornstarch
2 tsp. Sesame Oil (or Olive Oil)
1/2 tsp. Fresh Ginger, grated
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Green Onion, chopped
Preparation
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the cornstarch to the tofu in a small bowl and toss to coat.
Add the tofu to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes.
While the tofu is cooking, combine the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, water and brown sugar. Mix well.
When tofu has browned, add the sauce, stir, then bring to a simmer before reducing heat to low. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until sauce has thickened and reduced.
Serve over rice and garnish with green onion.
