LEMONGRASS TOO RECIPES

Steps:

• Before you begin cooking, you need first to press and drain your block of firm tofu. We suggest placing the block of tofu inside a tofu press before leaving it to drain for 20 minutes. If you don't have a tofu press, then you can wrap your block of tofu in paper towels before pressing down firmly with a heavy kitchen object, such as a chopping board or cast iron wok. Again, leave your tofu to press and drain for at least 20 minutes to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
• At the same time, you will want to start preparing your rice, as this takes much longer to cook than your spicy lemongrass tofu. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare your rice as per the packet's instructions.
• Once you've removed as much liquid as you can, you can chop your block of tofu into small, bite-sized cubes.
• Next, place a large skillet or wok onto the stovetop, and heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in the bottom of the pan. When the avocado oil is hot, place your tofu cubes into the oil and heat them for up to 3 minutes on each side.
• When your tofu cubes are golden brown, lower the heat and add a further drizzle of oil to the pan. You can now heat your chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, and chopped chives. Cook all the ingredients together for 1 minute.
• Now, pour in your soy sauce, oyster sauce, and maple syrup into the pan. Stir all of the ingredients together and allow the sauce to cook through for 1 or 2 minutes on low heat.
• Remove your lemongrass tofu stir fry from the pan and serve with rice and some extra chopped parsley or a dash of chili sauce for garnish!
