Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the carrots into julienne strips or thin rounds.
- Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
- Slice the onion thinly.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and turn translucent.
- Add the cubed tofu to the skillet with the onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown on all sides.
- Add the julienned or sliced carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until they start to become tender but still have a bit of crunch.
- Pour the soy sauce and vinegar over the tofu and vegetables. Stir well to ensure everything is coated evenly.
- Add a dash of black pepper to taste.
- Drizzle the sesame oil over the skillet ingredients. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
- Transfer the sesame tofu with carrots and onion to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately while hot. This dish pairs well with steamed rice, quinoa, or even as a topping for noodles.
Tips:
- 1. Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess moisture, ensuring a better texture.
2. Use a hot skillet to achieve a nice caramelization on the tofu and onions.
3. Cut the carrots thinly to ensure they cook evenly with the other ingredients.
4. Adjust seasoning to taste; you can add a bit more soy sauce or vinegar based on your preference.
5. For added flavor and texture, consider adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top before serving.
