Ingredients

• 14 ounces firm tofu
• 8 ounces white fish fillet (such as cod or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 unit red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 unit lime, juiced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place it under a heavy pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the tofu is pressing, rinse and pat dry the fish fillet. Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red bell pepper and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the skillet. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and add them to the skillet. Cook them until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the fish pieces, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and begins to flake easily.

Step 6

Add the tofu and red bell pepper back to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to ensure everything is combined well and heated through.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve immediately, enjoying the blend of savory flavors and the satisfying textures of keto-friendly fish tofu.
