Honey Sesame Tofu

For a healthier version of Chinese take out…

Honey Sesame Tofu

Pieces:

1. 1 block of firm tofu
2. 3 tbsp. oil for sauteing
3. 2 tbsp. gluten free soy sauce
4. 1 tbsp. sesame oil
5. 6 tbsp. honey
6. 2 tbsp. agave nectar
7. 3 tbsp. plum sauce
8. 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
9. 1 tsp. chili powder
10. sesame seeds for sprinkling

Process:

1. Make crispy tofu pieces, like I did in Sweet and Salty Stir Fry.  Follow steps 1-6 to dry, slice, and saute the tofu in hot oil in a shallow pan until they start to brown.
2. While the tofu is cooking, make the honey sauce by combining soy sauce, sesame oil, honey,  agave nectar, plum sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chili powder.
3. Heat the sauce on low until it starts to bubble, whisking thoroughly.
4. Then add 1 tbsp. flour to thicken, and stir for just another minute.
5. Pour the sauce over the tofu, sprinkle some sesame seeds, and serve over rice and/or vegetables.
