Whichever way you prefer to serve this recipe you can’t go wrong. It’s basic but also so versatile that it goes great with anything. 

IS SESAME TOFU VEGAN

Yes, since tofu is plant based it sure is.

Want to make it a bit sweet? Feel free to add 2 or 3 tbsp of honey to the sauce and your good to go.

You can also serve this as a appetizer around the holidays, why not it takes really no effort at all and would sure to be eaten up in no time. 

This is one of my favorite ways to make tofu and trust me you won’t miss the meat in this recipe. Because the tofu has a good source of protein and essential amino acids.

It is also an excellent source of iron and calcium and the minerals.

In addition, tofu is a good source of magnesium, copper, zinc and vitamin B1. So go ahead and indulge! 

HOW TO MAKE SESAME TOFU

• Start by slicing the tofu as seen in the steps picture above. Once it has been sliced, dry it off as much as possible with a paper towel.
• Next make the sauce, add all the sauce ingredients into a small bowl and whisk with a fork till combined. 
• Now in a small bowl add the tofu along with the cornstarch and coat. Add the combination of cooking oil and sesame oil to a non stick frying pan, and saute the tofu on each side for 5 minutes, turning a often in order to brown the tofu. 
• Once browned about 15 minutes into cooking, add in the sesame seeds and toast for 2 more minutes. Drizzle the sauce overtop of the browned tofu and saute for 5 more minutes. Serve and enjoy!
