INGREDIENTS
400g Silken Tofu
1 tbsp Peanut Oil
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 tbsp Grated Fresh Ginger
3 Scallions
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Sesame Oil
1 tsp Rice Vinegar
PREPARATION
Carefully drain any excess water from the silken tofu and pat dry with a paper towel. For a firmer exterior, gently dust the tofu with cornstarch on all sides.
Heat the peanut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Gently place the tofu pieces in the pan, taking care not to break them.
Allow the tofu to sear undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until a light, crispy crust forms on the bottom. Carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 3 minutes.
While the tofu is searing, prepare the ginger scallion sauce by combining the grated fresh ginger, chopped scallions, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
Once both sides of the tofu are lightly crispy, remove from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate.
Drizzle the ginger scallion sauce generously over the tofu, ensuring that the aromatic flavors are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful balance of silky texture and crisp edges paired with a zesty, herbaceous sauce.
