Ingredients:

  • 1 (16 oz) container firm tofu
  • 3 -8 tbsp sesame oil (depends on if nonstick pan)
  • 1 tbsp potato starch (i'm allergic to corn starch but that would probably work)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 -5 tbsp soy sauce or 3 -5 tbsp braggs liquid aminos

Directions:

  1. Place 3 tablespoons sesame oil in pan lift pan so oil coats the pan and heat on medium heat about a minute.
  2. Carefully add one tofu stack to oil.
  3. Toast tofu 3-8 minutes (until side is golden brown) then flip and toast the other side until golden brown).
  4. Remove that tofu stack, add more oil if necessary, add second tofu stack.
  5. Toast until golden brown on each side (will toast faster than 1rst stack) repeat process with third stack.
  6. Place all tofu stacks on a plate and slice into bite size pieces and place in a bowl.
  7. Add onion to pan, turn stove back onto medium and let it toast until desired softness is reached (I like my onions carmelized).
  8. Take cup of miso soup make sure it is boiling, add maple syrup and two tablespoons of soy sauce and quickly stir in the potato starch (if you don't stir quickly you will get lumps which some people like and some don't).
  9. Add onions to tofu pour sauce on top and stir. Tofu will absorb some of the liquid. Add additional soy sauce to taste.
  10. Enjoy!
  11. Note for Vegetarian the any soup stock suggested should not be Beef, Chicken, seafood or other meat products. Vegetable would be acceptable.
