Pan-Fried Tofu with Hot Truffle Sauce

Looking for a vegan entree, a quick and easy snack or a protein to add to other dishes (like the soba noodle dish above)? This is a spicy, flavorful tofu recipe you’ll reach for again and again, any time you’re in the mood for tofu.

Ingredients

• 14 oz (1 package) extra firm tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp sesame oil
• ¼ cup Natureul Black Truffle Sauce in Chili Flavor
• Salt and pepper to taste

Recipe

1. Thoroughly dry the cut tofu cubes using paper towels or lint-free cooking linens. Season lightly with salt and pepper (don’t overdo it here, the truffle sauce will do most of the heavy lifting where flavor is concerned).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive and sesame oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook tofu until golden brown, turning to ensure even color on all sides. Usually 2-4 minutes each side. Just use caution and check frequently to make sure you don’t burn the tofu.
4. Remove cubes once they’re done and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb extra oil.
5. Once all of the tofu is done and has rested for up to five minutes, transfer to a serving bowl, add the truffle sauce, and gently stir using a serving spoon to coat the tofu in hot truffle sauce.
6. Try not to eat it all at once!
