Really Easy Salt and Pepper Tofu

Really Easy Salt and Pepper Tofu

Want to make a vegetarian dish which everybody will love? Try this easy recipe with Tofu. Tofu is not a very tasteful ingredient but the texture is pretty nice. So we'll give it a little kick with pepper and a little crispiness by pan-frying it.
Great served with bock choy.

Serves 2
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Baking time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: *

Ingredients:
- 1 block of firm or extra firm tofu
- salt
- pepper
- mix 1 teaspoon vegetable oil + 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Slice the block of tofu. Then cut each slice diagonally to form triangles. Pat dry each tofu piece with kitchen paper.

Season well both sides of each tofu triangle with salt and pepper.

Heat the 2 teaspoons of oil in a large frying pan and add the tofu triangle. If your pan is not big enough, heat only half the oil and proceed in batches.

Let cook the tofu on the first side until it's light brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
Turn the tofu triangles and let cook on the other side, until brown and crispy, like for the first side.

Once it's ready, transfer the tofu to a plate covered with kitchen paper.
Just before serving, you can transfer the tofu back to the hot frying pan and reheat for 1 minute.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot, with bock choy (quickly pan-fried with soy sauce) and/or brown rice.
