Maple‑Glazed Tofu with Oat Milk Sauce

Ingredients

• 200 g firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 120 ml oat milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper(optional)
• 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Press the tofu for 10 minutes, then cut into 1‑inch cubes and toss with cornstarch to coat evenly.

2. 2

   Heat the vegetable oil in a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat; add the tofu and fry until golden and crispy, about 4‑5 minutes, turning once.

3. 3

   In a small bowl whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper; pour over the tofu and stir‑cook for 2 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the pieces.

4. 4

   Remove the tofu to a plate; in the same skillet add oat milk and simmer for 2‑3 minutes, stirring until the sauce is smooth and slightly reduced.

5. 5

   Return the tofu to the skillet, toss to combine with the oat‑milk sauce, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
