I love Food & Wine magazine. . not only for the wine suggestions/pairings with food but also the great, delicious recipes! I subscribe to their daily emails with recipes and wanted to share this one; especially since my kitchen is going to be a un-useable disaster zone while we pack and move over the next couple of weeks. And then I will be in temporary housing in Seattle for a week. . so please enjoy this recipe in the meantime. . one of my favorites!

Fried Tofu with Spicy Ginger Sesame Sauce

Course: Main or Side Dish
Cuisine: Korean
Author: Food & Wine

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Korean red pepper flakes or 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
  • 1 large garlic clove very finely chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • One 14-ounce container of firm tofu
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce with the sugar, red pepper, garlic, sesame oil, ginger and sesame seeds.
  • Slice the tofu crosswise into 8 thin slabs. Dry the tofu with paper towels, pressing until no moisture remains.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil until shimmering. Add the tofu and cook over moderate heat, turning once, until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Spoon the sauce over the fried tofu and sprinkle with the scallions. Serve with steamed white or brown rice.
