Crispy Ho Pan-Fried Tofu

Crispy Ho Pan-Fried Tofu

4 servings

Ingredients:

• 14 oz firm or extra-firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt, to taste
• 1½ tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Crispy Ho
• Chopped scallions or chives, for garnish
  

Instructions:

1. Drain the tofu and pat it very dry. Cut into 1½ to 2-inch cubes.
2. Add the olive oil to a nonstick skillet and arrange the tofu in a single layer. Season with a few pinches of kosher salt.
3. Cook over medium-high heat, undisturbed, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
4. Briefly remove the pan from the heat to reduce splattering. Carefully flip the tofu using tongs or chopsticks.
5. Return the pan to medium-high heat and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, until the tofu is golden and crispy on the other side.
6. Lower the heat. Add the tamari, coconut aminos, and Crispy Ho. Gently toss until the tofu is evenly coated in the glossy chili crunch sauce.
7. Cook over low heat for another 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly and cling to the crispy tofu.
8. Transfer to a serving plate and spoon any remaining Crispy Ho sauce from the pan over the top.
9. Finish with chopped scallions or chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
