Ingredients

• 400 g Extra-firm tofu
• 60 ml Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
• 20 ml Sesame oil
• 15 ml Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Ginger powder
• 1 tsp Stevia or erythritol
• 0.5 tsp Chili flakes (optional)
• 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess water: Wrap the block of tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place it on a plate. Set a heavy object, such as a skillet, on top and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, ginger powder, stevia or erythritol, and chili flakes (if using).

Step 4

Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. For a more intense flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tofu cubes to the skillet, shaking off excess marinade before adding them to the pan. Reserve the remaining marinade.

Step 7

Cook the tofu for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 8

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the marinade has reduced and the tofu is coated in a glossy sauce.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy as part of a keto meal with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
