How to Make Tofu In Lime Ginger Sauce
- Combine 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup grated ginger, 2 cloves garlic, and 1/4 cup soy sauce in a blender or food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Add 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the blender. Mix thoroughly.
- Transfer the sauce to a shallow dish.
- Add 14 oz (400g) firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed, to the dish. Toss gently to coat the tofu evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes) to allow the tofu to marinate.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the marinated tofu to the skillet in a single layer.
- Pour the remaining marinade over the tofu.
- Cover the skillet tightly and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
- For serving: Prepare a dipping sauce by combining 2 tablespoons apricot preserves with 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
- Serve the tofu hot, drizzled with any remaining sauce, and alongside the apricot dipping sauce. Enjoy with a glass of Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, or Chenin Blanc.
