Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes Serves: 2-3
Ingredients:
- 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed
- 2 tbsp low FODMAP soy sauce (tamari is a good option)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp grated ginger (ensure it’s fresh and only use a small amount for low FODMAP)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- ½ tsp garlic-infused olive oil (use sparingly for low FODMAP)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for extra crispiness)
Instructions:
- Press the tofu: Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place a heavy object on top (like a heavy skillet or books) for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water. This step is crucial for achieving crispy tofu.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, sesame seeds, garlic-infused olive oil, and black pepper.
- Cut and coat the tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. If using cornstarch, toss the tofu cubes with it before adding them to the glaze. Ensure all tofu pieces are evenly coated.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the coated tofu in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Tips and Variations:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
- Feel free to experiment with other low FODMAP vegetables like broccoli florets or bell peppers (in moderation). Roast them alongside the tofu for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
