Crispy Tofu Recipe |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
2 cups fresh snow peas
1 package extra firm tofu, drained (16 ounces or 500 g)
3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or soy sauce
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 red pepper, cut into thin strips
1 yellow pepper, cut into thin strips (or use all one color)
8 green onions, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons cooking oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
Cut tofu crosswise into eight thick slices, then into cubes. Arrange the cubes in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce or soy sauce over the tofu. Turn the cubes to coat them and then let them marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal and red pepper. Drain the tofu and discard the marinade. Carefully dip the pieces of tofu into the cornmeal mixture and press gently to coat both sides. Set the tofu aside.
Pour 1 teaspoon of sesame oil into a large skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Add red and yellow pepper strips. Stir fry for 2 minutes. Add the snow pea and green onions. Stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes more or until tender crisp.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in remaining teriyaki sauce. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a serving platter. Cover and keep warm.
Wipe the skillet clean. Heat remaining sesame oil and cooking oil in the pan over medium heat. Cook the coated tofu slices for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden brown.
Mix the fried tofu with the vegetabales to serve, or serve the tofu pieces over the vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Serves 4 as a main course or 8 as a side dish.
