Main Ingredients- 1 block Tofu (approx. 300g)
- 1 pack Enoki Mushrooms
Almond Butter Sauce- 1 Tbsp Almond Butter
- 1/2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (or regular vinegar)
- 1 Tbsp Allulose (or corn syrup)
- 1 Tbsp Almond Butter
- 1/2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (or regular vinegar)
- 1 Tbsp Allulose (or corn syrup)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Slice the tofu into approximately 1cm thick pieces. Pat the tofu thoroughly dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Lightly season with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Place the seasoned tofu slices in the pan and pan-fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides. The key is to achieve a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
Step 3
Trim the base of the enoki mushrooms and rinse them thoroughly, then drain any excess water. In a bowl, combine the enoki mushrooms with 1 Tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper, tossing to coat evenly. Place the seasoned enoki mushrooms in an air fryer basket and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes until crisp. (Alternatively, bake in an oven at 200°C (400°F) for 8-10 minutes.)
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp almond butter, 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (or regular vinegar), and 1 Tbsp allulose (or corn syrup). Whisk together with a spoon or whisk until smooth and well combined to create the sauce. This creates a delightfully tangy, sweet, and nutty sauce.
Step 5
Arrange the golden-brown pan-fried tofu slices attractively on a serving plate. Top generously with the crispy baked enoki mushrooms. Finally, drizzle the prepared savory almond butter sauce evenly over the dish. Your wonderful ‘Pan-Fried Tofu and Enoki Mushrooms with Almond Butter Sauce’ is ready to be enjoyed!
