Caramelized Bbq Tofu with Veggies and Sauce
Ingredients
- 2/3 package extra firm organic tofu, drained and pressed well to remove water
- 1 tsp oil
- 1.5 cups steamed broccoli florets cut into small pieces
- 1 cup edamame
- 1 cup cooked noodles
- Cilantro for garnish
- Sauteed mushrooms for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Scallions for garnish
- Red chili flakes for garnish
Sauce
- 2 tbsp gochujang sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp water
- 1.5 tbsp agave or maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
Preparation
Cut the tofu into thin pieces.
Add oil to a large pan and place the tofu pieces without overlapping, cooking in batches if necessary.
Cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the sauce in a bowl.
Add the sauce to the cooked tofu and toss to coat.
Serve with the vegetables, noodles, and garnishes.
Tips
The sauce permeates the tofu and caramelizes slightly for enhanced flavor.
You can pair the tofu with any choice of vegetables and noodles.
Gochujang sauce is tangy and flavorful and can be found online or in most grocery stores.
