Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low-sodium, gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Granulated erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 stalk Green onion (sliced thinly)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Carefully remove the tofu from its packaging and drain any excess water.
Place the tofu on a clean plate lined with paper towels and gently press it with additional paper towels to remove excess moisture. Be careful not to break the tofu.
Cut the tofu into 1-inch thick slices and arrange them in a heatproof dish that fits into your steamer or steam basket.
Set up a steamer by boiling some water in a pot and placing a steam basket or rack over it. Ensure the water level is below the basket.
Place the dish with the tofu into the steamer, cover with a lid, and steam over medium heat for 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the tofu steams, prepare the soy-ginger sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, granulated erythritol, and rice vinegar until fully combined.
Once the tofu is steamed, carefully transfer the tofu slices to a serving plate.
Drizzle the prepared soy-ginger sauce over the tofu evenly.
Sprinkle with sliced green onion and sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy!
