Tofu is a soft, white food made of curdled soybean milk. It is delicious when sautéed and served with a flavorful sauce.
RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut the tofu into 21/2-inch squares that are 1 inch thick.
2. Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Sauté the tofu for 4 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Place on a serving dish and keep warm.
3. To make the glaze, combine the soy sauce, maple syrup and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisk together until the cornstarch dissolves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and whisk constantly for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Pour over the tofu and garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro.
