🌱 Ingredients:

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed & cubed

2 tbsp cornstarch (for crispiness)

1 tbsp olive oil

¼ cup Rollicking Buckaroo Pepper Jam (Mild or Medium for balance)

2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tsp sesame oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp grated ginger

1 tsp maple syrup or agave (optional for extra sweetness)

Sesame seeds & sliced green onions for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

Press & Cube the Tofu – Pat the tofu dry and cut into bite-sized cubes. Toss with cornstarch to get a crispy texture when cooked.

Crisp it Up – Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add tofu cubes and pan-fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.

Make the Glaze – In the same pan, add Rollicking Buckaroo Pepper Jam, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and maple syrup. Stir well and let it simmer for 2 minutes until thick and sticky.

Coat the Tofu – Toss the crispy tofu back into the pan and stir until evenly coated in the sweet & spicy glaze.

Serve & Garnish – Sprinkle with sesame seeds & green onions and serve hot over rice, quinoa, or stir-fried veggies.
