"Honey" Sriracha Tofu & Quinoa
This recipe is sweet, spicy, simple & so delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 16 oz block super firm tofu
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1/2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp agave or maple syrup
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp oil for frying
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa & bring to boil in 2 cups of water. Reduce to simmer and cover for about 20 minutes*.
- Meanwhile, cut the tofu into 1/4 inch cubes. (I do not press super firm tofu, but if you're using extra firm you will want to use a tofu press** to get the excess moisture out of the block before cutting it)
- Cook the tofu in a saucepan with avocado or olive oil on low-medium heat. Turn the cubes until they are golden brown on each side.
- Combine all the remaining ingredients for the sauce. Taste and adjust to your desired flavor.
- When the tofu is ready, toss it in the sauce.
- Serve the tofu & quinoa with veggies, green onion & sesame seeds.
- Enjoy & share!
Notes
* I normally remove the quinoa from heat after all the water has evaporated - about 20 minutes.
