Mongolian Tofu Oil Free

This recipe for oil-free Mongolian tofu retains all the flavor without being overly oily. Crispy tofu is coated in a savory, slightly sweet sauce that gives a healthier take on the traditional Mongolian dish.

Ingredients:

• 400g extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger

Add cubed tofu to the sauce mixture and let it marinate for 15-30 minutes

In a large skillet, add marinated tofu along with the marinade

Cook over medium heat until tofu is heated through and sauce thickens, about 10-12 minutes

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry

Stir it into the skillet to further thicken the sauce

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over cooked rice
