Ingredients:

1 block tofu
460g
2 tbsp mustard
30g
1 tsp soy sauce
6g
1/2 cup maple syrup
160g
1/2 cup pineapple juice
120g
1 tsp sesame butter
5g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Tofu:
- Press the Tofu: Begin by draining the tofu. Wrap the tofu block in clean kitchen towels or paper towels. Place a heavy object (such as a cast-iron skillet or a few cans) on top to press out excess water for about 20-30 minutes. This step is crucial to achieve a firmer texture for the tofu.
2. Cut the Tofu:
- Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes or slices, depending on your preference.
3. Make the Maple Glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, soy sauce, maple syrup, pineapple juice, and sesame butter. Stir until well combined. This will be your glaze.
4. Cook the Tofu:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
5. Add the Glaze:
- After the tofu is golden brown and crispy, reduce the heat to low.
6. Simmer the Tofu:
- Allow the tofu to simmer in the glaze for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze has thickened and the tofu is well-coated.
7. Serve:
- Once the glaze has thickened and clings nicely to the tofu, remove the skillet from the heat.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve your maple glazed tofu over rice, noodles, or as a delightful addition to salads or grain bowls.

Tips:

- Press the tofu to remove excess water before cooking. This helps the tofu absorb the marinade better and achieve a firmer texture.

- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.

- For a crispier texture, bake the tofu in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

- Use extra-firm tofu to ensure the best texture and to prevent the tofu from falling apart during cooking.

- Feel free to add a splash of sriracha or chili flakes to the glaze for an extra kick of heat.

Enjoy your Maple Glazed Tofu as a delightful main course or a delectable side dish. Its rich, savory, and sweet glaze is sure to impress your family and friends. Whether you are a tofu enthusiast or new to plant-based dishes, this recipe will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving for more.
