Added sodium and sugar tame seasoned rice vinegar's tartness, making a nice counterpoint to sesame oil, sweet orange juice, and aromatic orange rind. Drizzle the tofu with the flavorful pan sauce to serve; the sauce bolsters plain rice noodles tossed with
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
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Wine note: Tofu works with just about every wine, but given the flavors of soy sauce, orange, and sesame, a refreshing white is in order. In particular, sesame and orange both work magnificently with unoaked chardonnay. My favorite: St. Supery Oak Free Chardonnay from Napa Valley, California. The 2008 is $25. —Karen MacNeil
