Spicy Lime Tofu served, sprinkled with sesame seeds and cilantro

Spicy Lime Tofu

Tofu is a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine, perfectly absorbing spicy, citrusy marinades. The freshness and acidity of lime create a great balance with the salty character of soy sauce and the spiciness of ginger. Chili seasoning adds a slight spiciness to the dish, while sesame seeds provide a crispy texture. This tofu dish is quick to prepare, healthy, and high in protein, making it a perfect choice for a light lunch or dinner. Served with steamed rice or fresh vegetables, it can be enjoyed as a complete meal.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Press the tofu firmly with paper towels to remove excess water, then cut into cubes.

    2

    In a bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, chili flakes, and lime juice.

    3

    Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    4

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu and pan-fry on each side for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

    5

    Transfer the cooked tofu to a serving dish, sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.

    6

    Serve with steamed rice or fresh vegetables, and drizzle with the remaining marinade.
