Ingredients
- 1 block extra firm tofu pressed and cubed (400g)
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons oil
For the Sauce
- ¼ cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 lemon zested
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon pepper or more
Instructions
- Add the pressed and cubed tofu to a bowl along with lemon pepper and cornstarch. Toss well to combine.
- Add the vegetable broth and cornstarch to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine then add the rest of the sauce ingredients (lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, soy sauce, and ground pepper). Set aside.
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large non-stick pan. Add the tofu in a single layer. Pan fry them for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy.
- Set aside the tofu and wipe off any leftover oil. Add the sauce to the pan (it will bubble immediately), and simmer for a minute, letting the sauce thicken.
- Add the tofu back to the pan and toss well to combine. Finish off with extra pepper and lemon juice if desired.
Notes
- Prep time includes pressing the tofu. Check out my guide on how to press tofu without a press if you need a tutorial!
