Ingredients

For the Tofu:

  • 1 block extra-firm tofu
  • 1 T. vegetable oil
  • 2 T. rice vinegar
  • 1/2 c. black pepper sauce
  • 1 t. sesame oil

For the Black Garlic Sauce:

  • 1 head of black garlic
  • 1 t. ginger minced
  • 3/4 c. vegetable stock
  • 1/4 c. low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 T. rice vinegar
  • 1 t. sesame oil

To finish the dish:

  • 8 oz. rice noodles cooked
  • 2 heads broccoli cut into florets and steamed

Instructions

  • Press the tofu to remove the excess moisture. Cut into 5 slices and then cut each slice into 4 pieces.
  • In a medium bowl combine the oil, vinegar, black pepper sauce, and sesame oil. Add the tofu and toss until completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1-3 hours.
  • Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and fry for 6-8 minutes on each side or until crispy.
  • Meanwhile, combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Pour into a food processor and process until smooth.
  • Add half of the sauce, the cooked rice noodles, and the broccoli to the tofu and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve with additional black garlic sauce.
