Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 lb tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes and patted dry
2 stalks lemongrass, very white bottoms only and finely minced
2 -3 tablespoons sambal oelek chili paste
2 tablespoons peanut oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil
salt
black sesame seeds (or combination of both) or white sesame seeds (or combination of both)

Steps:

  • Combine the chili paste and lemongrass.
  • Season tofu with salt then coat with chili paste/lemongrass mixture. Allow the tofu to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot enough; carefully add the tofu cubes. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until carmelized, careful not to crowd. Remove from oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Note: 1. Soft tofu produces a better 'bite', but firm tofu produces a crispier end product. 2. I might even consider sprinkling on the sesame seeds prior to cooking just as a test.

The spicy lemongrass tofu was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very flavorful.

I'm not usually a fan of tofu, but this recipe changed my mind. The lemongrass and chili peppers gave it so much flavor.
