Ingredients
- 450 g firm tofu
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 5 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 medium cucumber
- 4 stalks green onions
- 12 pancakes
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture: Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.
Step 2
While the tofu is being pressed, prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, the ginger, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Place the tofu strips in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 5
While the tofu is marinating, prepare the vegetables: Julienne the cucumber and slice the green onions into thin strips.
Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Add the marinated tofu strips to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the tofu is crispy and golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 8
Warm the pancakes according to the package instructions, either in the microwave or steamer.
Step 9
To serve, spread a small amount of hoisin sauce onto a pancake, lay a few strips of tofu on top, and add cucumber and green onions.
Step 10
Roll up the pancake and enjoy the delicious vegetarian duck pancake.
