I love tofu. It is one of my favorite items to cook with because it’s low-calorie and high in protein. My go-to flavor for tofu is soy-sauce because it’s easy, but I’ve been getting tired of it. I used the Yummly app on my iPhone to find some new easy tofu marinades this last week, and this one is a true winner. It was so easy to make, and the flavor was outstanding.
Sweet, Sticky & Spicy Tofu
Ingredients
1 block extra firm tofu (pressed, cut into cubes)
3 tbsps hoisin sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp chives (finely chopped)
2 pinches red pepper flakes
olive oil (for sauteeing)
- Combine Hoisin sauce with soy sauce, chives and red pepper flakes. Add cubed tofu and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan and saute cubed tofu until it’s golden on all sides. The Hoisin sauce will give the tofu it’s sticky and sweet quality; while the red pepper flakes will add some spice.
