Tofu with Apricot Sauce
I
love this dish because it’s quick, simple and inexpensive to make. Best
served on rice with some veggies on the side, this tofu dish is
satisfyingly sweet without being cloyingly so. I don’t have much
tolerance for mixing savory and sweet – in my opinion, they should stay
in their own lanes – but this is one of my rare exceptions. A little
sweet, a little salty, Tofu with Apricot Sauce hits the spot and will
have you craving more.
Tofu with Apricot Sauce 1 – 2 teaspoons sesame oil or coconut oil
4 – 5 scallions, minced, darker green tops reserved for the top
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 lb. super-firm or extra firm, pressed tofu
˝ cup apricot jam (I like Trader Joe’s organic low-sugar version)
2 tablespoon tamari
2 tablespoon low-sodium vegetable broth or water
1 tablespoon plus one teaspoon cornstarch
˝ - 1 teaspoon crushed chili flakes
In
a medium sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat for a minute and add
the scallions, ginger, garlic and tofu, stirring with a spatula for ten
minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the jam, tamari, broth or water,
cornstarch and chili flakes. Pour over the tofu and cook, stirring
often, for five minutes. Serve over rice with reserved minced scallions
sprinkled on top.
