How to create

Prepare the marinade by whisking together 2 T dark soy sauce, 2 T chili powder, 1 T allulose, 1 T oyster sauce, 1 T minced garlic, a pinch of black pepper, and 100 ml water in a bowl.

Finished chopping tofu, onions, and scallions on a cutting board.

Cut 300 grams of tofu in half and then into 6 pieces, and chop 1/2 of an onion and 1/2 of a scallion.

Heat a skillet over low heat, spread the tofu out and sear for 3 minutes to release moisture.
💡Baking them first without oil to release the moisture helps them to be well-seasoned and firm in texture.

Tofu flipped over and drizzled with olive oil

Tofu and trimmed vegetables cooked together on a pan top.

Flip the tofu over and push it to one side, add 1 T of olive oil and sauté the diced onion and scallions for 3 minutes.
💡Drizzle olive oil over the tofu and tilt the skillet to coat the entire pan with oil.

Add the sautéed vegetables to the tofu, pour in the reserved marinade, and simmer over medium heat for 3 minutes.

Once the sauce is reduced to your desired consistency, remove from heat and finish with 1 T sesame oil and a generous sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Caveats & tips

Baking tofu: Be careful if you bake tofu with oil from the beginning, the oil will explode due to the moisture in the tofu.
Seasoning Concentration: Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat so that the flavors are evenly distributed.
Adjusting sweetness: Allulose substitute for sugar - oligosaccharides. Allulose is recommended for dieters!
Adjusting the amount of rice: Add about 100 grams of brown rice or multigrain rice for a low-calorie meal.
Add veggies: Add your favorite ingredients like zucchini, mushrooms, and green chilies.
