This recipe demonstrates how tofu can be transformed into a delicious, umami-rich dish. Marinating the tofu for a minimum of 30 minutes allows flavors to soak right into the tofu. The sautéing is executed in a dry pan to caramelize the exterior sugars and create flavor and texture…without adding unnecessary fat to the tofu. Finally, the remaining marinade is reduced to a concentrated glaze. The cooked tofu sits in this delicious glaze for another 30-60 minutes to infuse even more flavor.
