Ingredients

  • 16 oz super firm tofu (cut into cubes. Make slightly larger cubes-- mine were around ½ inch square)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or any neutral oil
  • 1 cup mango puree
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 chipotle chili pepper (with 1 teaspoon of the adobo sauce it's packed in. Finely chop the pepper.Sriracha sauce works here too!)
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala (can sub with curry powder or cumin powder)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro (optional, for garnish. Chop finely if using)

Instructions

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok. Add the tofu cubes and saute for a few minutes, until the tofu starts to turn golden.
  • While the tofu is cooking, make the glaze by mixing the rest of the ingredients in a bowl, except the cilantro. I made the salt optional -- I like a dash, because it enhances the other flavors.
  • Pour the mango glaze into the tofu and mix well. Cook over medium heat 10-15 minutes or until the glaze has reduced. At this point you can leave the tofu a little saucy, if you like it that way, or, if you're serving this as a finger food, let the liquid cook away until the glaze crusts to the tofu.
  • Turn off the heat and squeeze on the lemon or lime juice. Sprinkle on the cilantro if using.
