Lemongrass Tofu
Delicious Lemongrass Tofu is easy to make with fresh lemongrass, onion, garlic and soy sauce. It’s super flavorful, simple to make, and very versatile. Perfect served on a bed of rice with stir fried vegetables, in salads, or even sliced in sandwiches!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of sesame oil divided
- 15 oz of extra firm tofu drained and PRESSED + cut into strips (or other shapes like THESE)
- ¼ of a small onion finely diced (about ¼ cup)
- 2 large cloves of garlic minced
- 1 stalk of lemongrass cleaned and finely chopped (I recommend removing about half of the outer leaves as they’re typically drier and less flavorful)
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add in 1 tablespoon of the oil. Once hot, add in the tofu pieces and sauté on each side until the tofu begins to brown and is crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Set the tofu aside and return the skillet to the heat.
- Add in another tablespoon of oil and once hot, add in the onion, garlic, and lemongrass and sauté for 7 minutes.
- Add the tofu back to the skillet and pour the soy sauce over the top. Mix to combine and cook for 3 additional minutes. Serve and ENJOY!
Notes
Add any leftovers to an airtight container and place it in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Rewarm in a skillet on the stovetop or pop it in the microwave to reheat. Reheating tofu in the skillet will crisp it up the best.
