Maple soy tofu over rice

Maple Soy Glazed Tofu

Today I am sharing one of my favorite tofu dishes that I usually make twice a week! The Maple Soy Glaze is sweet, spicy, and super flavorful and perfectly paired with a pan-fried tofu, sautéed red pepper, and red onion over jasmine rice! Uhhh yum! This maple soy glazed tofu comes together in 30 minutes or less so it's a perfect dish when you need dinner in a hurry or when you're in the mood for something delicious and can't wait any longer. Just prep the ingredients, pan-fry, serve! SO easy and so satisfying.

Ingredients
 

Pan-Fried Tofu:

  • 1 Block Extra Firm Tofu
  • ¼ cup Cornstarch
  • Pinch of Salt
  • ¼ cup Oil for frying

Maple-Soy Glaze:

For Serving:

  • Jasmine Rice
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • ½ medium Red Onion
  • 1-2 Garlic Cloves
  • Green Onions
  • Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  • Wrap the tofu in a clean dish towel or paper towels and gently squeeze out as much water as you can. Cut the block tofu in to 8 squares. Pat dry once more. Set aside. If you have the time, press tofu for 30 minutes. 
  • If serving with rice, start cooking now.
  • Prep the red pepper and red onion by cutting them in long thin slices. Set aside. 
  • Now, mix all the maple soy glaze ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside. 
  • In a medium sized pan, add ¼ cup of oil on medium-high heat. 
  • In a small shallow dish add the ¼ cup of cornstarch and a healthy pinch of salt. Coat the tofu squares in the cornstarch mix and in to the hot oil. Fry for 4-6 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove from oil and set aside. 
  • Discard oil or in a different pan, add 1-2 teaspoon of oil and sauté the red peppers and onions until soft and slightly browning. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or 2. 
  • Add the tofu and maple soy glaze to the pan with the veggies. 
  • Cook until the glaze has thickened. Toss the tofu until evenly coated. 
  • Serve maple soy glazed tofu over rice and top with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
