Lately, I’ve been trying more and more to focus my meals around plant-based ingredients and I’m feeling great.
I love tofu as my plant-based protein because it’s so versatile and takes on any flavour you cook it in! Here’s an easy honey ginger tofu recipe that can be made with some stir fried veggies, rice or quinoa or my new fave roasted cabbage!
Honey Ginger Tofu
Serves: 6
WHAT YOU NEED
2 tablespoons light olive oil
14 ounces extra firm tofu
GARLIC GINGER SAUCE
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fresh ginger
2 tablespoons honey (more to taste)
1/2 cup tamari * 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup light olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Sauce: Puree all the sauce ingredients together in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
2. Tofu: Cut the tofu into slices and press with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Wait a few minutes and press again to remove all the water. Cut the tofu slices into small cubes. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and about 1/4 cup of the stir fry sauce. Pan-fry the tofu until golden brown. Remove from the pan and place on paper towel lined plates.
3. Warm up the remaining sauce in a small sauce pan and use for veggies and rice/quinoa! You can also coat the tofu in the extra sauce.
Enjoy!
