Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- 1 14-oz. block firm or extra-firm tofu, drained, sliced into 4 thin rectangles
- 3/4 cup Nong's Sauce (divided in half)
- 1/2 cup scallion, sliced thin
- 2 Tbsp. high heat oil
- Sea salt
- Jasmine Rice (for serving) cooked the way you like it
Directions:
- Season your tofu slices with sea salt and let sit for 10 mins.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or cast iron over med-high heat. Let it get nice and hot, then add your high heat oil and let it start to shimmer.
- Gently place your tofu steaks in the pan. Cook undisturbed until that side is golden brown, about 5 mins. Turn and cook undisturbed for another 5 mins.
- Turn over once more, reduce the heat to medium, and add the Nong's Sauce. Simmer for another 5 mins, basting if you can during the process.
- Serve the tofu over rice, and garnish with scallions and more Nong's Sauce if needed.
