INGREDIENTS:
One 16 oz block extra firm, very dense tofu
4 green onions, chopped (use white part too!)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 average sized onion, sliced
1 heaping tsp fresh grated ginger
2/3 cup wheat free tamari or soy sauce
4 tbsp toasted sesame oil
6 tbsp organic sugar
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
4 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1/4 cup shredded pear, skin and all [I personally rarely bother with the pear.]
DIRECTIONS:
Slice and cover the tofu slices with your chopped onions, green onions, ginger and garlic.
Combine the tamari, sesame oil, sugar, black pepper, mirin, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes and shredded pear. Stir and pour over tofu and veggies.
Let marinate at least 8 hours.
Fry tofu alone, first, then add marinade.
Cook until marinade is reduced and tofu is carmelized.
Serve over rice, or it makes a nice sandwich
