CHILLY GARLIC TOFU RECIPE
This chilli garlic tofu recipe will blow your mind. It is packed with protein, fiber, and lots of vibrant colors and flavors. It is also super healthy and if you are looking for something else to try other than your standard meals, this dish is for you!
I made a super simple spicy-sweet sauce for the tofu, which gave it all the flavor it needed without having to marinate.
The tofu absorbed the sauce quickly in the skillet and turned the otherwise boring little tofu bricks into tasty little bites that I couldn’t stop stealing out of the skillet. This dish is really fast, it takes only 15 minutes or so, healthy and super flavorful. If you’ve never been a fan of tofu, I want you to do me a favour and make this dish! It is also gluten free!!
Ingredients
400 gr extra firm tofu
1-2 tbsp of coconut oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
3-4 smashed garlic cloves
250-300 gr of broccolini / green beans
1 Tablespoon Vegetarian Chili Oil
2 Tablespoons Honey ( or agave or sugar)
1 tbsp of Soy Sauce
1 tbsp of sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1 : Add broccoli to a pan, add hot water and simmer for 5-10 min.
Step 2 : Drain and blot tofu with paper towels and cut into half inch thick pieces. Blot again.
Step 3 : Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add salt, pepper and smashed garlic, directly in the skillet. Swirl and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Step 4 : Sear tofu until golden brown, over medium heat, about 5 minutes each side.
Step 5 : Make the chilli sauce, in a bowl add vegetarian chilli oil, honey, sesame oil and soy sauce, mix well and set aside.
Step 6 : When the tofu is done, add few tsp of chilli oil over it. Then take it out and add broccoli for few min. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Step 7 : Drizzle the tofu with the chili sauce and top with sesame seeds. Eat straight away.

I was wondering, what camera do you use to take your photos Alla? My camera isn't very good for food photos (the macro setting is poor).
I use panasonic gh3 with an Olympus lens, I did so much research for weeks to find the best camera for me! But I also edit the pictures!
Thanks Alla! Will have a look into that camera and see what I can find out. :-)
