Remember yesterday’s post where I asked what you could make with silken tofu, honey/agave, and lemon??

Um, lemon creme, of course!!! It’s under 200 calories, high in protein, and can be eaten as a dessert or breakfast food.

Soy-Glazed Tofu

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 triangles)

Ingredients

  • 1 (12-ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cut crosswise into 6 slices
  • 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated orange rind
  • 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons thinly diagonally sliced green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation 

  1. Cut each slice of tofu in half diagonally. Place tofu slices on several layers of paper towels, and cover tofu with additional paper towels; let stand 15 minutes, pressing down occasionally.
  2. Combine vinegar and next 4 ingredients (through rind) in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes or until thick and syrupy. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange tofu slices in pan in a single layer; sauté 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from heat; pour vinegar mixture over tofu to coat. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
