Ingredients

• 400 grams firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 large ripe mango, julienned
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 2 cups red cabbage, shredded
• 0.5 cup cilantro, chopped
• 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey (or agave syrup for vegan version)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the block of tofu in a clean kitchen towel, place a heavy object on top, and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch thick slices and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ground black pepper to create the marinade. Pour the marinade over the tofu slices in a shallow dish, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let the tofu marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

While the tofu is marinating, prepare the mango slaw. In a large bowl, combine the julienned mango, carrot, shredded red cabbage, chopped cilantro, and sliced scallions.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, honey (or agave syrup), salt, and olive oil to create the slaw dressing. Pour the dressing over the mango slaw and toss until evenly coated.

Step 6

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Remove the tofu slices from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and place them on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, brushing with the reserved marinade for added flavor, until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.

Step 8

Remove the grilled tofu from the grill and let it rest for a minute.

Step 9

To serve, plate a portion of the mango slaw and top it with a few slices of grilled tofu. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

Step 10

Enjoy your To Hu Ang Swai Chei Grilled Tofu with Mango Slaw!
