Garlic Pepper Tofu Recipes

MAGIC GARLIC TOFU

Steps:

• Prepare your baked tofu according to recipe instructions.
• Meanwhile, as your baked tofu (above) is draining and later baking, prep all of your ingredients for the black pepper sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together water, soy sauce, maple syrup, black pepper, cornstarch and ground ginger until combined. Set aside.
• In a large sauté pan, heat the butter (or oil) over medium-high heat until melted. Add the red onion and jalapeño, and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes, or until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
• Slowly pour in the soy sauce mixture, and stir until combined. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer and then thickens.
• Remove pan from heat. Add in the baked tofu, and toss until it is evenly coated in the sauce.
• Serve warm, garnished with lots of toppings as desired.

GARLIC PEPPER TOFU

Steps:

• To make the marinade, grind all the ingredients together in a pestle and mortar to form a paste.
• Place the tofu triangles in a flat dish and cover with the marinade.
• Leave for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil and fry the marinated tofu until golden brown on both sides.
• Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
• Tip out any excess oil remaining in the pan, then place the vegetable stock, soy, tomato purée and vinegar into the pan together with the arrowroot which should be made into a paste with a little water. Bring to the boil, stirring to thicken, and return the tofu to the pan to heat through.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the black pepper and sesame oil.
• Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with cucumber and spring onions.
