Ingredients

  • 1 block extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 tbsp Fire Brew (Citrus or Elderberry work great)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for a thicker glaze)
  • Neutral oil for pan-frying
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Prep the Tofu
     Press tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into bite-sized cubes.
  • Sear the Tofu
     Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and pan-fry until golden and crispy on all sides (about 3–5 minutes per side). Set aside on a plate.
  • Make the Glaze
     In a small bowl, whisk together Fire Brew, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch (if using).
  • Glaze the Tofu
     Pour the glaze into the same skillet over medium heat. Once it begins to bubble and thicken slightly (this happens fast!), toss the tofu back in and stir to coat evenly.
  • Garnish & Serve
     Remove from heat and top with sesame seeds, green onions, or a pinch of red chili flakes for heat.

Why It Works

  • Fire Brew: Brings bold, tangy complexity and gut-friendly benefits.
  • Tofu: The perfect blank canvas that soaks up every bit of flavor.
  • Garlic & Ginger: Deliver warmth and anti-inflammatory power.
  • Soy Sauce & Maple: Balance umami and sweetness for a full-flavored glaze.

Serving Suggestions & Flavor Swaps

  • Best Enjoyed:
    • In rice or grain bowls
    • Stuffed into lettuce wraps or tacos
    • Over salad greens with a citrusy vinaigrette
  • Fun Variations:
    • Spicy Kick: Stir in a dash of Sriracha or crushed red pepper.
    • Extra Crispy: Coat tofu in cornstarch before frying for serious crunch.
    • Zesty Finish: Add a squeeze of lime or orange juice to the glaze.
    • Low Sodium: Use coconut aminos in place of soy sauce.

Storage & Reheating Tips

  • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Pan-fry or bake briefly to revive crispiness (microwave will soften it).
