Glazed Tofu Bowl
Ingredients
- ¼ cup (60 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) honey
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) rice vinegar
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) sambal oelek, or more to taste
- ⅓ cup (75 ml) mayonnaise
- 1 lb (450 g) firm tofu, torn into small pieces
- ⅓ cup (45 g) cornstarch
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
- ½ lb (225 g) medium rice noodles
- 4 cups (180 g) curly-leaf lettuce, thinly sliced
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 avocado, ripe but firm, sliced
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vinegar and sambal oelek. Transfer 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the soy mixture into a second bowl. Add the mayonnaise and mix well. Season lightly with salt. Set aside the soy-mayo dressing and the remaining soy mixture separately.
- Place the tofu in a third bowl. Sprinkle with the cornstarch and toss to coat well (see note).
- In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the tofu in the oil for 10 minutes or until golden and very crispy on all sides. Pour in the remaining soy mixture and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring to coat the tofu, until the sauce is thick and syrupy. Add the sesame seeds and mix well.
