* 3 tbsp tamari * 2 tbsp of oil (1 for the tofu and one to sauté) * Juice of 1 lime or 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar * 1 lb block super firm (vacuum sealed tofu) or extra firm tofu (press this style tofu before using) * 1-2 tbsp maple syrup * 1 tbsp hoisin sauce * 1 tbsp mirin * 1 tbsp sriracha or less based on preference * 1/2 tsp vegetable bouillon paste or vegetable paste * 1/4 cup of water * 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch * 1 red bell pepper * 1 green bell pepper * 1/4 medium red onion, sliced into strips * 3 cloves of garlic, minced
**To serve**
* Cooked rice or quinoa * minced herbs * nuts or seeds
###Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Pat the tofu dry and cut into thin strips (thick tofu like super firm tofu will crumble less when thinly cut). Place the strips on a large parchment lined baking tray or between 2 trays if needed.
1. In a large measuring cup whisk together 2 tbsp of tamari, 1 tbsp of oil and the lime juice. Using a brush, brush the top of the tofu slices with some of the sauce. Reserve what remains in the cup and place the tofu in the oven to bake for 10 mins. Flip the tofu and brush the opposite side with the same mixture and again reserve the contents of the measuring cup. Bake the tofu again for 10 mins then set aside.
1. To the measuring cup add the remaining tbsp of tamari, maple syrup, hoisin sauce, mirin, sriracha, bouillon, water and cornstarch then whisk to combine and set aside.
1. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot add the peppers and onions with a pinch of salt and sauté for 2-3 mins. Stir in the garlic, sauteing until fragrant then lower the heat to low.
1. Add the tofu strips and sauce to the pan and stir everything together with tongs until the sauce thickens and coats everything well, about 1-2 mins.
1. Serve with rice or quinoa then garnish with fresh herbs, nuts or seeds based on preference and enjoy.
While this looks like a great recipe (I love tofu), I miss the trad gifs with ingredients on screen as added, and slow cuts to clearly see whats going on.
We dont need to see half the gif being different angles of it being plated or mixed about or people eating it.
I feel old. Is this presentation whats considered peak cooking gif now? These are sometimes hard to follow, like some fight scenes in movies. All style and jumpy cuts, no clear shots.
