Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight
- on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard accumulated liquid.
- Cut tofu into 2×4-inch strips about 1/4-inch-thick.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook tofu strips in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stack tofu strips horizontally in a dish with sloping sides, like a teacup saucer.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet. Add green onions; cook and stir until fragrant and sizzling, 10 to 20 seconds. Spoon green onions over tofu while still sizzling. Coat with soy sauce. Let sit until tofu soaks up flavors, 3 to 5 minutes.
Reviews
Great simple recipe. Added a bit of sesame oil to fry in and some minced fresh ginger with the scallions!
Simple and tasty, a great tofu staple
I keep tofu in the fridge so I can make this last minute any time. We like it with fried rice and potstickers or fish.
I added red onion and cilantro, I changed cheddar for pepper jack cheese
Aside from the draining time, this is a quick and flavorful recipe. Simple ingredients that I always have on hand. I’m always looking for new ways to prepare tofu, so thank you for the new idea!
