Crispy Marinated Tofu & Rice
Method
Preparation Steps
Marinate the Tofu
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes and marinate in a mixture of soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
Coat the Tofu
After marinating, toss the tofu cubes in cornstarch until fully coated.
Fry the Tofu
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated tofu cubes and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
Prepare the Rice
While the tofu is frying, prepare the cooked rice according to package instructions.
Serve
Place the cooked rice on plates, top with crispy tofu, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
