Ginger-Sesame Tofu Sauce by Deborah Madison image

Entered for safe-keeping, requesting my vegetarian friends to test this for me. From "This Can't Be Tofu!" by Deborah Madison. This has the texture of a thin mayonnaise, and can be drizzled on cubes of fresh tofu, over romaine salad or cole slaw, or over grilled fish or chicken (if you aren't vegetarian). Over sauteed vegetables this can add an unexpected accent.

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
1 tablespoon jalapeno chile, seeded and chopped
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon tahini or 1 tablespoon sesame paste
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 ounces silken tofu
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Put the first 7 ingredients (through the lime juice) in the small bowl of a food processor and process until well blended, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the tofu, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and continue processing, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides, until you have a smooth, green-flecked sauce.
  • Taste for salt and season with pepper, to taste.
  • If sauce is too thick for your taste, or it thickens in the refrigerator, thin it by whisking in water as needed.

This sauce is a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll try using less chili next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I think I'll try cooking it for a bit longer next time.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll try adding some water or broth next time.

I found this sauce to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

This sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I love the simplicity of this sauce. It's made with just a few ingredients, but it packs a big punch of flavor. I've been using it on tofu and tempeh, but I'm sure it would be great on chicken or fish too.
