Crispy Tofu with Spicy Chili Crisp Sauce
Instructions
Prep:15minCook:20min
Torn tofu chunks (we're going for maximum texture!) are coated in oil and cornstarch, baked until light and crispy, and tossed with an incredibly flavorful, umami-packed sauce made with three ingredients: spicy chili crisp, peanut butter, and soy sauce. The dish is finished with lots of sliced scallions, chopped cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds for freshness and contrast. We love serving this tofu alongside a simple soba noodle salad (recipe coming soon!) or on top short-grain rice alongside steamed, roasted, or grilled vegetables. If you're looking for a lighter alternative, this Chinese cucumber salad is another great accompaniment!Note: If you prefer, you can achieve supremely crispy tofu on the stovetop (it is actually a bit crispier!). For this method, simply tear the tofu into chunks and toss generously in cornstarch - skip coating in oil. Heat a thin layer of avocado or vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet and add the tofu pieces, searing them on all sides. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
