Pan Fried Tofu Over Brown Rice
Make sure you use firm tofu for this recipe. Tofu is best when it has been patted dry as thoroughly as possible with paper towels. You can even do this 30 minutes to an hour beforehand.
Servings: 2 -4
Ingredients
- One 14 ounce package firm tofu drained, rinsed and patted dry with paper towels and cut into ½-inch thick slices; you can also cut into triangles
- 1-2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
- sesame seeds
- diced green onions if desired for garnish
- serve over brown rice
Instructions
- Using a large non-stick pan, over medium-high heat, add the sesame oil and after a minute or two, carefully place the tofu slices into the pan. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden and lightly browned. Drizzle on the soy sauce and after about a minute, remove from the pan. Alternatively, you can drizzle on the soy sauce when the tofu is already sitting on the rice.
- Serve on top of brown or white steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and diced green onions.
