By Jamie Vespa

Crispy Asian-Glazed Tofu with just 5 Ingredients delivers restaurant-quality tofu in 15 minutes. Quick, easy, and super versatile.

Ingredients

• 1 14-oz. package extra-firm tofu, drained
• 1 Tbsp. hoisin
• 2 Tbsp. lower-sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 1 Tbsp. chili garlic sauce
• 2 tsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
• 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice tofu width-wise into 6 slabs. Use a kitchen towel to gently press each slice to remove excess liquid; cut into 1-inch cubes.

2. 2

   Combine hoisin, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and vinegar in a small bowl; stir with a whisk.

3. 3

   Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add tofu and cook, untouched, for 3 minutes, until bottom of cubes are golden-brown. Toss and cook 5 extra minutes, tossing occasionally, to brown all sides. Add Asian glaze and cook 2 more minutes, stirring often, until tofu absorbs glaze and becomes caramelized. Remove from heat and serve.
