Steps:
- Slice tofu into 3-4 horizontal slices. Drain well by placing between 2 cookie sheets lined with paper towels. Weight down the top cookie sheet with canned goods or a cast iron skillet to "press" the moisture out of the tofu. Keep changing the paper towels until no more moisture can be pressed from the tofu. This is the key to crispy tofu. Once dry, cut the tofu up into 1" cubes and toss with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to coat.
- While drying the tofu, prepare the sauce. Combine sesame oil, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and water. Mix in blender or food processor until completely smooth. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoons of oil and swirl to coat pan. Add the cubed tofu to the pan and fry for 3-5 minutes. Flip the tofu as needed to brown all sides. Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce to the tofu and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. When the tofu is carmelized, remove to plate and keep warm.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the veggies and toss to coat. Cook the veggies for 3-4 minutes or just to al dente. Add the sauce and let it thicken just slightly. Add the tofu and sesame seeds and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the tofu has soaked up all the flavors.
- Serve warm with rice or quinoa or on its own. Eat right away as the tofu will lose its crispiness as it sits and cools.
SHREDDED TOFU AND SHIITAKE STIR-FRY
Shredding tofu on a box grater before stir-frying gives it a fluffy, light texture, and the smaller pieces readily absorb the complex, earthy mushroom flavor of the sauce. Unlike with many tofu dishes, you're not looking to sear the tofu here, just to warm it up in the sauce. The caramelized flavor is supplied by the shiitake mushrooms, which should be cooked until they are well browned and crisp-edged. If you can't find fresh lemongrass, you can leave it out.

Steps:
- Using the coarse holes of a box grater, shred the tofu. Spread tofu out on a clean kitchen towel to drain while you prepare the sauce and mushrooms.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Shaoxing, lime juice and sesame oil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until it's very hot, then add the peanut oil; it should thin out on contact. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cook, tossing occasionally, until most of the mushroom liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are browned and slightly crisp, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in the scallion, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, chile and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the tofu from the towel into the skillet. Toss in the edamame and the soy sauce mixture. Cook until mixture is heated through. Season with salt as needed. Remove from heat and stir in herbs. Serve with lime wedges.

BLACK PEPPER STIR-FRIED TOFU AND ASPARAGUS
This fast, one-skillet stir-fry dinner combines vibrant spring vegetables with hearty tofu in a rich and spicy black-pepper sauce. (Use freshly ground pepper, if possible, for the ideal combination of flavor and heat.) The tofu is simmered in the fragrant sauce, which is spiked with aromatic garlic and ginger until it has absorbed all of the flavors and is nicely glazed. This recipe is perfect for using up that pencil-thin asparagus, which cooks quickly and toes the line between crisp and tender, while sweet snap peas balance out the assertive sauce. The dish can be served over baby spinach or in lettuce cups instead of with rice for a satisfying salad.
