Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I found this yesterday on the Vegan YumYum blog (http://veganyumyum.com/2008/06/sweet-chili-lime-tofu-with-wok-steamed-collards-\ and-quinoa/). The recipe is technically Sweet Chili-Lime Tofu with Collards and Quinoa, but I just made the tofu and served it over green beans. It was delicious! I'll definitely be making this one again. Serves 2-3 1 Block Tofu, extra firm, 14 oz 3 Tbs Sugar 3 Tbs Reduced Sodium Tamari (or soy sauce) 1 3/4 Tbs Fresh Lime Juice 1/2 Zest of the Lime 1/2 tsp Red Chili Flakes (or 1-2 fresh hot chilies, minced) 1 Clove Garlic, pressed, optional 1/4 tsp Salt 4 Mint Leaves, chiffonaded Drain tofu and cut into 1-2 cm cubes or other smallish shapes. Dry fry the tofu cubes over medium heat until lightly browned. Mix remaining ingredients together until smooth and sugar is dissolved. Pour over hot tofu cubes and stir to coat. Continue cooking until sauce begins to thicken and glaze the tofu cubes. Remove from heat. Serve tofu and sauce over steamed green beans or collards. (directions paraphrased by me. Please see the Vegan YumYum blog for much more eloquent instructions and great pictures.) Cheers, Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
