Black Garlic Tofu

A delicious gluten-free tofu recipe featuring the rich and savory flavors of black garlic. This dish is perfect for those looking for a meatless and gluten-free option with an umami kick.

Ingredients:

• 1 block of extra-firm tofu, cubed
• 4 cloves black garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• Cooking oil for pan-frying
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 20-30 minutes

While the tofu is pressing, prepare the sauce

In a small bowl, combine the minced black garlic, gluten-free soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes

Mix well and set aside

Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes and season with a pinch of salt and pepper

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom

When the oil is hot, add the tofu cubes and pan-fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes

Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside

In the same pan, add the sauce mixture and cook for a minute or two until it starts to thicken slightly

Return the crispy tofu cubes to the pan and toss them in the sauce until well coated

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors

Serve the Black Garlic Tofu over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds
