Pan-Fried Tofu with Dipping Sauce

Step 1

Slice the tofu into 4 rectangle slices. Pat each piece dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Heat a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on high heat.

Step 3

Add the tofu and reduce to low-medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 4

Once the bottom of each piece is golden brown, turn it over and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5

To make the dipping sauce mince the garlic and chop the green onion. Combine minced garlic, chopped green onion, sugar or honey, reduced-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil and hot pepper flakes (optional) in a small mixing bowl.
