Tofu Steaks with Chili Paste








Ingredients

2 cakes firm tofu (10 oz/300 g each)
4 tablespoons oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili paste
2 green onion (scallions), cut into sections

Sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar Salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste 


Method

1. Halve the tofu cakes horizontally to form 4 pieces. Gently press the tofu
with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set aside.

2. Combine all the Sauce ingredients and set aside.

3. Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Place
the tofu in the skillet, and shake the pan gently to prevent sticking. Cook
for 2 to 3 minutes, turn carefully with a spatula, and cook the other side for
2 to 3 minutes.

4. Push the tofu steaks to the side of the skillet. Add the garlic and chili
paste, stir to blend the flavors and prevent sticking.

5. Add the Sauce, shake the skillet well to mix all the ingredients, cover
with lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 minutes. Add the green
onions, turn the tofu over, and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a
serving dish and season with a little salt and pepper.
