1 (12.3 oz) block extra firm or firm silken tofu, drained (Mori-Nu brand recommended)
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons Asian chili sauce (or chili garlic sauce)
2 teaspoons maple syrup or date syrup
1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon ginger, finely minced
½ teaspoon black sesame seeds
½ teaspoon white sesame seeds
2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
Optional: 1 teaspoon mellow white miso paste (to thicken)
Optional sides: napa cabbage or baby bok choy, steamed or sautéed
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and let it come to room temperature. Place on a serving plate.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, lemon juice, chili sauce, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
- For a thicker sauce, mix in miso paste if desired.
- Pour the dressing evenly over the tofu.
- Sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- Serve as is, or pair with steamed or sautéed napa cabbage or bok choy for a fuller meal.
Notes
Swap rice vinegar with apple cider vinegar if needed.
Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
Add extra chili sauce or chili oil for more spice.
A drizzle of sesame oil or peanut butter gives a nuttier flavor.
