Sticky Ginger Garlic Tofu

May 12, 2021

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Email Recipe

Easy sticky ginger garlic tofu for a delicious vegan, plant based dinner! This recipe uses simple ingredients to be cooked in under 20 minutes. Plus, the best way to cooking method for tofu to get the perfect crisp on the outside but still soft in the middle. This recipe will have you questioning whether or not to ever get takeout again!

sticky ginger garlic tofu

I used to be a huge tofu skeptic. I mean the texture of tofu every time I ordered it at a restaurant was just BLAH. Even the first time I ever cooked with tofu I was turned away. After many, many, many cooking failures and successes, I would like to say I have mastered the tofu. I have come to the philosophy that tofu is just like chicken. If you do not cook it right or season it correctly, you will most likely not enjoy it. Can you cook tofu the same way you cook chicken? Absolutely not but the concept is the same!

Now, I have talked about the importance of the cooking method, but we need to talk about this sauce!! For the sticky ginger garlic tofu, I made a super simple and easy sauce that is gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. We are using just a little bit of maple syrup to sweeten this recipe but you can alter it to your liking. Preferably, I would maintain at least 1/4 teaspoon of maple syrup so that we can offset the rice vinegar and add that “sticky” element. But trust me, you will want to include it!

SO… what will I need to make Sticky Ginger Garlic Tofu?

  • Extra Firm Tofu
  • Coconut Aminos
  • Sesame Seed Oil
  • Rice Vinegar
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Ginger
  • Garlic
  • Maple Syrup
  • Arrowroot Starch
  • Sides of Choice!

What do I pair tofu with?

Since this is an Asian inspired dish, I will stick to options that I think work best with this flavor combination. However, feel free to choose your own complex carbohydrate and vegetables! If you pick something that is not on this list and love it, be sure to comment it below!

Here are combination ideas:

  1. Brown rice and sauteed snap peas (pictured)
  2. Brown rice and steamed broccoli
  3. Jasmine rice and sauteed mushrooms, spinach and carrots
  4. White rice and sauteed bell peppers, baby corn and snap peas
  5. Swap out your rice with cauliflower rice for a lower carbohydrate option
  6. Swap out your rice with noodles! I love different sized rice noodles, egg noodles, glass noodles or palmini noodles

How to make the best air fryer tofu:

Air fryer tofu is now a standard practice for me. I could not tell you the last time I made tofu not in the air fryer. It is perfectly crisp on the outside and still soft on the outside. If you need an air fryer recommendation, this Cosori one is my favorite!

All you have to do is

  1. Press your tofu first. This is key to getting excess moisture out. I have recently seen a trend of freezing your tofu for the best texture… but I cannot say I have experimented with this method yet! So for now, press for 15 minutes.
  2. Slice into 1/2 to 1 inch cubes
  3. Spray the tofu with a neutral cooking oil
  4. Air fry at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, shaking half way to make sure they are not sticking.

If you doing this separate from this recipe, you can marinate or season your tofu prior to air frying and then eat it right away! You can spray the air fryer itself as well but I would not recommend just spraying the air fryer, as you want to make sure the each individual piece of tofu is not going to stick!

Can I cooked tofu?

I love to make a tofu to freeze. It is perfect to defrost for a later date and can be stored in a freezer for up to 6 months for the best quality. Even better, this exact meal is perfect to meal prep and freeze. You can easily defrost the tofu, brown rice and snap peas for a delicious already prepared meal!

Can I make any substitutions or add more ingredients?

  • Tofu: If you are not a plant based protein fan, you can easily use cubed chicken, turkey, shrimp, salmon or beef
  • Coconut aminos: You can substitute soy sauce or tamari for another gluten free option
  • Sesame seed oil: I would HIGHLY recommend but if you do not have it, you can replace with olive oil or coconut oil
  • Fresh ginger: You can replace with 1 tsp ground ginger
  • Rice vinegar: Apple cider or white vinegar can be used instead
  • Maple syrup: You can add more or use less in this recipe but for that “sticky” texture, I recommend leaving at least 1/4 tsp. Honey or date syrup can be used as well.

What did I miss?? 👀 or did anything surprise you??

The internet is wild but what’s more wild, is when something hooks… the world goes into a craze. Your reminder that not everything on the internet that blows up, you have to participate in. A lot of things get trendy but the true basics that work seem to never be trendy✌️

What if the reason you feel stuck…
Isn’t that you’re not working hard enough—
It’s that you’re not fueling enough.

We see so many active women are showing up, training hard, and still not seeing the results they want.

The missing piece?
Fueling right and eating enough to support their goals—not sabotage them.

When you give your body what it actually needs:

👉 Energy comes back
👉 Muscle starts showing
👉 Progress feels possible again

You don’t need to do more.
You need to do it smarter.

DM me “FUEL 💪” if you’re ready to build a body & mind that feels as good as it looks.

Dear Women,
You are allowed to take up space.
You are allowed to be strong, fast, driven, and sweaty.
You are allowed to chase goals that scare you.
You are allowed to feel good, not run down.

And you are allowed to do all of that in pink and colors and glitter and bows and everything feminine AF while doing hard things. 💓

Obsessed with this era of women showing their femininity + strength simultaneously. It’s something I struggled with for so long, as I wanted people to take me seriously and why would they if I was girly? Or that I couldn’t be girly if I had muscles… This change in attitude is so empowering 

This is your reminder: strength looks good on you.
Keep going. 💪🏽🫶

BROAD ST WEEK 🤗⚡️ here are 5 things I’m doing to keep my body fresh but ready to go this week! 👇

1. TAPER: first race and trying to figure out what that is? simply, we are lessening intensity to avoid muscle fatigue! This means yes less workouts but more so, not hitting it hard on runs or workouts. Saturday is also a great day to do a little shakeout to keep blood flow in the body and to shake nerves!
2. NUTRITION: stick with foods that are your friend this week and that you know make you feel good, especially carbs! nerves sometimes can creep up and hit your stomach, so maybe you opt for things that are less fibrous. remember: fueled bodies are STRONG bodies! 
3. HYDRATION: and no, not just the day before 🙂 start now so you aren’t overloading it Saturday and up all night peeing 😅
4. TEST: make sure you have tested out the clothes you are wearing, shoes you’ll be running in and pre-race fuel! I’m running in new shoes so I ran in them this weekend to make sure they felt good! and lay it all out the night before - it will make you excited but also relieve some early morning wake up nerves
5. PLAN: when you go to pick up your bib, make sure you have all you need or ask questions if you are unsure on anything. have a plan for getting to the race (we all know that can be a tough one for this race specifically!) 

BONUS: the best thing someone ever told me is that sometimes nerves are actually excitement and we can’t tell the difference. be excited to go out there, experience it all and have some fun ☺️

SEE YOU THERE PHILLY 🏃‍♀️🌆

Sometimes I feel like these kind of recipes aren’t “post-able” until I realize half of us just truly need meals that make us feel good and can add to a weekly rotation ✌️

1. If you have an air fryer like mine and don’t have these liners, you need them. ASAP because the clean up is so easy 
2. Mix and match your favorite veggies, nothing is set in stone. Make it your own! My personal favorite :)

dEATS 👉 Air Fried Salmon Dinner

Base: rice in a rice cooker :)

Salmon: marinated in soy sauce, miso paste, ginger and umami seasoning (I honestly did this for 5 minutes but you can do longer if you have time. Still turns out delish). Add to the air fryer and air fry at 400 for 11-12 minutes (depending on size of fillets, these are about 4-5oz)

Veggies: 3/4 bag of Trader Joe’s cruciferous crunch mix, 2 mini cucumbers, 1-2 tbsp miso paste, soy sauce, small drizzle of rice vinegar & hefty spoonful of crunchy chili oil

Topped with sesame seeds and sriracha!

If you have an air fryer like mine and don’t have these liners, you need them. ASAP because the clean up is so easy 2. Mix and match your favorite veggies, nothing is set in stone. Make it your own! My personal favorite :) . . . dEATS 👉 Air Fried Salmon Dinner Base: rice in a rice cooker :) Salmon: marinated in soy sauce, miso paste, ginger and umami seasoning (I honestly did this for 5 minutes but you can do longer if you have time. Still turns out delish). Add to the air fryer and air fry at 400 for 11-12 minutes (depending on size of fillets, these are about 4-5oz) Veggies: 3/4 bag of Trader Joe’s cruciferous crunch mix, 2 mini cucumbers, 1-2 tbsp miso paste, soy sauce, small drizzle of rice vinegar & hefty spoonful of crunchy chili oil Topped with sesame seeds and sriracha! #healthyrecipes #nutritioncoach #highproteinmeals #eatforstrength #dinnerideas #womenshealth #airfriedsalmon #airfryerrecipe
