Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes or slices, depending on your preference.
- 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.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- After the tofu is golden brown and crispy, reduce the heat to low.
- 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.
- Once the glaze has thickened and clings nicely to the tofu, remove the skillet from the heat.
- 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.
