Maple Tofu with edamame and sesame

Cut the tofu block into cubes. Toss in a bowl with the cornstarch.

Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet and add the tofu cubes. Cook over medium heat for 12–15 minutes, stirring, or until the pieces are well browned.

In a bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger, and Sambal Oelek.

Add the sauce to the golden tofu. Stir over low heat for 2 minutes, add the edamame, and cook for 2 more minutes.

When ready, add the chives.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds at serving time.

Serve with basmati rice and a vegetable of your choice, such as roasted carrots, or place over a bed of rice vermicelli or a spinach salad.
