Sesame Crusted Tofu with Radish Apple Slaw

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

We coat slices of tofu with sesame seeds for a delightfully crunchy crust and serve them with a tangy, refreshing slaw. We love the look of black and white sesame seeds combined, but if you have only one variety on hand, that will work well too. Serve this ultra-quick recipe with brown rice or soba noodles on the side.

Ingredients:
  • 1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and patted dry
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • ¼ cup black and/or white sesame seeds
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon refrigerated ginger paste
  • 4 cups angel hair coleslaw
  • 1 small granny smith apple, unpeeled and cut into thin matchsticks (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 radishes, cut into thin matchsticks
Directions:
  1. Slice tofu crosswise into 8 steaks. Pat dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Press each tofu steak into the seeds, coating completely.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu; cook until browned and crisp on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, ginger paste and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Add coleslaw mix, apple and radishes; toss to coat. Serve the slaw with the tofu steaks.
