Marinated Sautéed Tofu

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    45 minutes

Ingredients

20 ounces extra-firm tofu
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons light miso
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon agave nectar
2 teaspoons mirin

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Drain the tofu and cut it into small cubes.

    Step 2

    Place the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour this over the tofu and toss to coat well. Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes, tossing occasionally to make sure the tofu is well saturated.

    Step 3

    Place the tofu cubes along with the marinade in a large nonstick sauté pan. Dry-fry the cubes for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally with a spatula to make sure the cubes are well browned on all sides.
