Ginger tofu bites of deliciousness (my #dailylunches number 1050)
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Recipes and Food
I made this for my lunch twice last week. Not only because I had a whole block of tofu to use up, but because it was so good I couldn’t wait to have it again.
It started with a craving for something spicy with ginger, tofu, and soy sauce. I figured a marinade would fit the bill, so I looked around and found this recipe for “ginger sweet tofu with pak choi.” (In case you weren’t sure, pak choi is the same as bok choy). The only think I did differently was add a splash of sesame oil to the marinade and sprinkle green onions, dried chilli peppers and sesame seeds over the whole thing at the end. I made this twice, and I found powdered ginger in the marinade to work a little better than the grated stuff (which had a tendency to stick to the tofu cubes and burn).
It had a great flavour, and by cutting the tofu into smaller pieces it takes on the marinade better, and in a shorter amount of time. A keeper recipe for sure!
