Ingredients
- 8 oz firm tofu 225 g, drained
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp agave syrup
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Remove any excess moisture from the tofu by squeezing it and patting it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Alternatively, you can wrap it with a towel and weigh it with a heavy pan or use a tofu press
- Cut the tofu into pencil-thick slices, then add the tofu to a shallow bowl. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and cornstarch, then toss to combine.
- Add the sesame oil to a non-stick frying pan. Place over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated tofu slices in a single layer.
- Fry for around 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on one side.
- Add the remaining soy sauce and agave syrup to the pan and give everything a good stir.
- Flip the tofu slices so that they can get crispy on the other side, too! Once they are done, set them aside.
- Enjoy with a side of rice or in a dish of your choice!
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days
