If you’re a tofu fan, here are some more tofu recipes you might enjoy: Tofu can be very delicious when prepared correctly. Douse it in a little smoked soy sauce and sesame oil and pan fry it until golden brown, and it’s positively irresistible! This perfect pan fried tofu is our go-to for easy dinners (along with our tofu scramble and baked tofu). Even our kids go crazy for it!
Firm or extra firm tofu: Avoid soft or silken tofu; it will not work in this recipe. Olive oil: Olive oil is our top cooking oil for tofu. Toasted sesame oil: A hint of this oil adds a nutty flavor to the tofu. Steer clear of regular sesame oil here: it has a neutral flavor and is intended for cooking. Smoked soy sauce or soy sauce: Smoked shoyu is becoming widely available; if you can find it’s 100% worth it! Otherwise, use soy sauce or tamari.
Another important item you’ll need is a non-stick pan for frying tofu. This is key so the tofu doesn’t stick to the pan when flipping it. This recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners because you don’t have to spend the time pressing it! Simply dry it off with a towel and you’re good to go. Score! Because smoked shoyu was hard to find, we usually don’t call for it in our recipes: until now! If you can find it, a drizzle adds the perfect garnish. You can also order smoked soy sauce (shoyu) online.
