CHILLY GARLIC TOFU RECIPE
This chilli garlic tofu recipe will blow your mind. It is packed with protein, fiber, and lots of vibrant colors and flavors. It is also super healthy and if you are looking for something else to try other than your standard meals, this dish is for you!
I made a super simple spicy-sweet sauce for the tofu, which gave it all the flavor it needed without having to marinate.
The tofu absorbed the sauce quickly in the skillet and turned the otherwise boring little tofu bricks into tasty little bites that I couldn’t stop stealing out of the skillet. This dish is really fast, it takes only 15 minutes or so, healthy and super flavorful. If you’ve never been a fan of tofu, I want you to do me a favour and make this dish! It is also gluten free!!
