Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce or 2 tablespoons ketchup
1 1/2 tablespoons black bean sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon crushed fresh garlic
1 teaspoon crushed fresh ginger
12 ounces extra firm tofu, cut into squares (21/2 inches wide x 1/2 inch deep, about 3 cups)
4 bunches baby bok choy
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
1/4 cup chopped cilantro or 1/4 cup parsley

Steps:

  • For the sauce, whisk the honey, chili sauce, black bean sauce, oil, garlic and ginger in a 9 inch baking dish until combined. Add the tofu and marinate for at least 10 minutes, or longer for more flavor. Remove the tofu and scape marinade off. Reserve the marinade!
  • Spray a non stick skillet with cooking oil and brown the tofu on both sides, approximately 3 minutes per side. Brush some sauce over the tofu, turn again and brush once more, cooking for 1 more minute. Set aside.
  • Warm the remaining sauce in a small skillet over low heat.
  • Steam the bok choy just until bright green, about 2 minutes. Do not overcook!
  • Place the bok choy on serving plates.
  • Top the bok choy with the tofu and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.

The tofu cakes were a bit dry, even though I followed the recipe exactly. I think I would try adding some more liquid to the marinade next time.

These tofu cakes were a little too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a more flavorful marinade.

I'm going to try making these tofu cakes with different marinades. I think they would be great with a teriyaki marinade or a peanut sauce.

I love that these tofu cakes are baked instead of fried. It makes them a healthier option.

These tofu cakes are a great way to get your daily dose of protein. They're also a good source of fiber and iron.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these tofu cakes. I'm not usually a big fan of tofu, but the marinade really made all the difference.

I've made these tofu cakes several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're easy to make and so versatile. I've served them with everything from rice to noodles to roasted vegetables.

These tofu cakes were a hit! The marinade gave them so much flavor, and they were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Served with the steamed bok choy, it was a healthy and delicious meal.
