Steps
- Prepare the tofu: cut slices of tofu (about 0.5 cm thick). Mix the hoisin sauce with 125 mL of water (half a cup). Marinate the tofu in this sauce.
- Prepare the pilaf rice: peel and chop the onion. In a saucepan, heat the neutral oil and sweat the onion in it.
- Add the rice to let it turn pearly for about 2 minutes and coat it with the onions and oil. Deglaze with the vegetable broth and let it cook for about 20 minutes.
- Retrieve the tofu slices from the marinade (don't throw away the marinade!) and skewer them onto kebab sticks. In a pan, heat the toasted sesame oil and grill the tofu skewers on high heat for a few minutes on each side until nicely golden brown!
- In the remaining marinade, add the starch and whisk. Pour this mixture into the pan over high heat, onto the tofu, to glaze the tofu.
- Prepare the sauce: mix all the ingredients together.
- Serve the tofu skewers with the sauce in a small bowl, and some pilaf rice! I sprinkled some sesame seeds and chives on top, and served everything with a small wedge of lime.
NotesYou can find hoisin sauce in the supermarket in the Asian specialties section, along with soy sauces! It's a thick, slightly smoky and sweet sauce that will bring all the flavor to the tofu in this recipe. If you're gluten-free, check if it contains some gluten or not !
