    Substitutions

    This recipe can easily be made vegan by substituting the honey in the marinade for agave nectar, maple syrup, or a little white sugar.

    How to Make it

    Tofu is a delicious, low calorie meat alternative that still provides an ample amount of protein for a well rounded meal. Paired with fresh sautéed vegetables and herbaceous cilantro, this meal is excellent for anyone wanting to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Tofu cooks quickly and easily in an electric skillet making for a convenient dinner option.

    1. Marinate. Mix the rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, ginger and Sriracha in a small bowl. Add the cubed tofu to a zip-top bag. Pour sauce mixture over tofu. Let as much air out of the bag as you can, seal it and massage gently to coat. Let it soak for around 10 minutes.
    2. Fry tofu. Heat electric skillet to 375ºF. Remove the tofu from the sauce (reserve the sauce). Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the electric skillet. Add the tofu and fry until golden brown on each side, about 6 minutes. Remove the tofu from the skillet and reserve.
    3. Fry vegetables. Heat another tablespoon of sesame oil in the skillet and stir fry the vegetables for 3-5 minutes, until crisp-tender.
    4. Serve. Turn off the skillet heat. Add the reserved tofu and sauce. Mix well. Serve topped with cilantro. It can be served on its own or over rice or quinoa.
