Ingredients

• 400 grams Firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium, gluten-free if needed)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Granulated erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 stalk Green onion (sliced thinly)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Carefully remove the tofu from its packaging and drain any excess water.

Step 2

Place the tofu on a clean plate lined with paper towels and gently press it with additional paper towels to remove excess moisture. Be careful not to break the tofu.

Step 3

Cut the tofu into 1-inch thick slices and arrange them in a heatproof dish that fits into your steamer or steam basket.

Step 4

Set up a steamer by boiling some water in a pot and placing a steam basket or rack over it. Ensure the water level is below the basket.

Step 5

Place the dish with the tofu into the steamer, cover with a lid, and steam over medium heat for 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

While the tofu steams, prepare the soy-ginger sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, granulated erythritol, and rice vinegar until fully combined.

Step 7

Once the tofu is steamed, carefully transfer the tofu slices to a serving plate.

Step 8

Drizzle the prepared soy-ginger sauce over the tofu evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle with sliced green onion and sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy!
