Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Tofu
Chop the tofu into bite-sized chunks and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Coat the tofu pieces evenly in cornstarch.
2. Fry the Tofu
Heat a layer of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Shallow fry the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides, turning as needed.
Toss the fried tofu in MSG or salt while still hot, then set aside on a plate.
3. Prepare the Blackberry Glaze
If the blackberries are hand-picked, rinse them thoroughly.
In the same pan used to fry the tofu, add the blackberries, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and soy sauce.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries break down into a thick, mushy consistency.
4. Finish the Glaze
- Turn off the heat and stir in the maple syrup and lime juice. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
5. Combine Tofu and Glaze
- Add the crispy tofu back into the pan and toss it gently in the blackberry glaze until evenly coated.
6. Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the tofu hot with a side of steamed rice or on a slice of toasted bread for a unique fusion dish.
