2 Tbsp 2 garlic, minced
3 Tbsp 3 chili garlic sauce
3 Tbsp 3 soy sauce

Preparation
- Press the tofu in a tofu press to get rid of any excess water. Then slice your tofu, as pictured above.
- Toss sliced tofu in tapioca flour (or cornstarch) until evenly coated and then set aside.
- Heat your skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp sesame oil and saute garlic until fragrant – about 1 minute. Now whisk in your chili garlic sauce and soy sauce and allow your sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
- Once sauce has reduced a bit and become thicker and tofu slices. Saute slices on both sides for about 5 – 8 minutes per side. Remove from heat, garnish and enjoy!
- You may enjoy tofu slices as is or over noodles or rice.
