recipe #12 - Spicy Sesame Tofu

Living in Chinatown has definitely made me a) a better cook and b) a lazier cook who sometimes just wants to order cheap take out in. 

This recipe is both quick and fulfilling for that Chinese food take out craving. It is loosely adapted from here.

Ingredients:

1 block of tofu
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tbsp sesame oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sriracha (i only eyeballed this as i did it, so it may have been more, depends on how spicy you like it)
1 head broccoli cut into small pieces (i included the stems as well)

Most of my ingredients - i had already chopped up the broccoli

1. Chop up broccoli, add to pot and steam it

2. Put tofu between 2 sets of paper towel to get all the water out - this took about five minutes

3. Mix all the sauces together while the tofu is drying

4. Once tofu is dry cut up in small pieces and cover with sesame seeds.

5. Add half the sauce and tofu in a hot pan. Cook each side between 4-6 minutes.

6. Once cooked place tofu on top of broccoli and pour the remaining sauce on top.

Dinner!

*I cheated a bit with some ramen noodles, however i did split them between dinner and lunch for the next day*
