This sticky Glazed lemon tofu is delicious, with lashings of maple syrup and ginger woven through the tart, fresh lemon. It’ll have you licking your fingers and going, ooh, yummm! This is a weeknight dish, or at least it’s ostensibly so because it comes together so quickly and needs barely any prep. But it does does very well for weekends too when you want to spend your time doing things other than cooking but want a delicious meal nevertheless. The glazed lemon tofu comes together in one pot, in about 30 minutes, and it tastes amazing on a bed of brown rice with nothing more than a scattering of scallions. And as decadent as it tastes, it’s really good for you. The lemon tofu is loaded with proteins, fiber and vitamins, and it has very little added oil. And to keep the recipe easy I cook the tofu on the stovetop instead of baking it in the oven, so that saves you an added step of preheating your oven and waiting for the tofu to bake up.
Serve
Serve the lemon tofu with brown rice or sticky rice or basmati rice. There’s a decent amount of sauce in this recipe, and the rice will soak it up. Better still, the flavors of the sauce are robust enough to stand up to brown rice. Sprinkle on some scallions for a really nice flavor finish. Check to get new recipe updates by email.
I’d probably also serve some steamed veggies on the side, like bok choy or chard or broccoli for a complete and decadent – not to forget healthy – meal.
