Tofu Blocks

This is so ridiculously good that you've got to try this. The key to this dish is to cook the tofu just with canola oil in a large sauté pan so all the sides of the tofu are browned. When finished your toss with sesame oil and soy sauce and then garnish with lots of green onion, dice red bell pepper, cilantro and sriracha sauce.

Ingredients:
1 package extra firm tofu
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon lite soy sauce
1 bunch green onions
1 /2 bunch cilantro
1/4 red bell pepper

Preparation:
Drain the water from the tofu and dry with paper towels. In order to get the tofu to brown up it's important that the tofu is dry.
 
Cut the tofu into 1-1/2" blocks. Heat a large skillet and add the canola oil. Cook the tofu until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.

Once the tofu is nice and golden brown, add the sesame oil and soy sauce and toss. Place the tofu blocks on to a serving plate and top with the diced green onions, diced red bell pepper and chopped cilantro. Garnish the dish with a few slivered green onions and sriracha sauce.
