Nori-Wrapped Tofu in Soy Garlic Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 blocks firm tofu
• 2 nori / seaweed sheets
• 1 cup potato starch
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Cooking oil, for pan-frying

Soy Garlic Sauce

• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• Black pepper
• Scallions, for garnish

Directions

• Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then wrap each block in a nori sheet. Slice into thick pieces so each shows a band of nori.
• Season with salt and pepper and dredge in potato starch to coat all over.
• Pan-fry in oil over medium heat until golden and crisp on all sides. Set aside.
• For the sauce, heat the oil and saute the garlic until fragrant. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water and bring to a simmer.
• Stir the cornstarch into a splash of water, add to the sauce, and cook until glossy and thickened. Season with black pepper.
• Spoon the sauce over the fried tofu and garnish with scallions.
