- 1 tablespoon peanut or sesame oil
- 3 tablespoon sweet chili sauce I use Thai Taste brand.
- 1 ½ tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ginger powder or freshly ground ginger
- 14 oz extra firm tofu pressed, drained and marinated (see above)
- sliced scallions, chopped peanuts, cashews or sesame seeds or fresh lime juice. optional add ons
Drain and press tofu as described above.
Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together to make the glaze.
Once the tofu is drained and pressed, cut into thick cubes about 2 inches wide and thick.
Carefully add tofu to the bowl with the glaze and gently toss together to marinate for another 30 minutes. You don't want the tofu to break apart here.
After marinating, spray or drizzle a large non stick fry pan with cooking oil.
Heat the pan on medium high, then place the tofu into the pan.
Pan fry for about 5 min per side or until tofu looks browned and crispy. Repeat the process on the other side.
Transfer tofu to a platter and top with more glaze, scallions and additional toppings if desired.
