Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu
- about 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup honey/maple syrup/brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger (or garlic)
Directions
-
Cut the tofu into slices about 1 inch thick. Press the water out of the slices, then cut them into 1-inch square cubes. In a baggie or on a wide plate, toss the tofu with the whole wheat flour til all the pieces have a thin coating.
-
Mix the lemon juice, sweetener, soy sauce, and ginger in a small bowl.
-
In a frying pan, warm the oil. In one layer, brown the tofu (in two batches if your pan is small). When it’s browned, add the sauce and let it cook down so the tofu is nicely and thickly coated, 5-10 minutes.
