Ingredients

  • 1 T toasted sesame oil
  • 1 lb tofu extra firm
  • 3 T cornstarch
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 t freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Extra firm tofu works best for this. Drain it and wrap it in a towel and leave it on the counter for at least fifteen minutes. More is fine.

  2. Heat olive oil or toasted sesame oil in a large pan - just cover the bottom of the pan with oil.

  3. Pat the tofu dry and cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces. I combined corn starch and plenty of salt and pepper. Toss the tofu cubes in the cornstarch.

  4. Shake the extra cornstarch off the tofu. Carefully add to the pan. Cook about 2-3 minutes and then flip the tofu. Remove the tofu to a plate with a paper towel on it to absorb any extra oil or moisture.
