Ingredients

• 400 grams Firm tofu
• 30 grams Fresh dill
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups Cooked rice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Press the firm tofu for 10-15 minutes to drain excess water by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top.

Step 2

Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and transfer to a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and cornstarch to the tofu. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the coated tofu cubes and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

While the tofu cooks, finely chop the fresh dill and combine it with the minced garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 6

Add the dill mixture to the skillet with the cooked tofu. Stir well to ensure every tofu piece is coated with the dill and spices. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 7

In a serving bowl, place 1 cup of cooked rice as a base (adjust portion depending on serving size). Top with the dill-coated tofu mixture.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced scallions, if desired, for extra flavor and freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Dill Tofu on Rice!
