This is tofu for people who don't like tofu and tofu heaven for those who do. It's better than takeout or that marinated tofu in stores. You've just got to try it!
Whisk together
juice and zest of two limes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice syrup (or honey)
Add in
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch of ginger root, thinly sliced
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
2 scallions, minced
Slice 1 block Extra Firm Tofu into 1/2 inch thick slices. In a wide dish with sides (such as a casserole dish) spread out the tofu and pour marinade over it. Let marinate in fridge for thirty minutes, then turn tofu over and allow to marinate additional thirty minutes. Preheat a nonstick frying pan with a little oil and garlic. Drain tofu and accompanying aromatics, then stir fry. In a sauce pan reduce marinade to pour over steamed rice (brown works) or noodles (whole wheat linguine is excellent). This makes an excellent lunch in my five meal a day plan. It's high in protein and (with the rice or pasta) fiber which means long lasting energy through the day.
