Tofu Preparation

Method

Tofu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Tofu

    Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Coat Tofu

    In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch and salt until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bread Tofu

    Dip each piece of coated tofu into panko breadcrumbs, ensuring each piece is fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry Tofu

    In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Stir Fried Vegetables

  1. 5

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed, then add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Add Vegetables

    Add bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  3. 7

    Add Seasoning

    Stir in chopped scallions and soy sauce, and drizzle with sesame oil. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Miso Vinaigrette

  1. 8

    Mix Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together white miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), water, and peanut butter until smooth and combined.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large serving bowl, combine the crispy tofu and stir-fried vegetables. Drizzle with the miso vinaigrette and toss well to coat.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve warm, garnished with additional scallions if desired.
