Glazing means reducing a sweet liquid until it coats what is in the pan: here soy sauce and maple syrup do it, with cornflour to help. Firm tofu is the only kind that takes this treatment without breaking up — the soft sort simply falls apart. But enough talking — let's go straight to loading the ingredients into Liffo!

Tips

Use firm natural tofu. Pat excess liquid dry before cutting into cubes. Marinate the tofu with soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and maple syrup in the indicated amounts or directly place all ingredients in the indicated container mixing the liquid with the tofu to flavor it. The marinade can be customized keeping soy sauce, vinegar and a sweet ingredient (honey, agave syrup, malt or rice) and adding spices as desired such as paprika, tabasco, chili pepper. Sesame seeds can be substituted with crushed peanuts or cashews.

Plating

Season to taste with raw sesame oil, a pinch of chili pepper and soy sauce to taste. Excellent served with white rice.
