Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Tofu
-
Chop the tofu into bite-sized chunks and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
-
Coat the tofu pieces evenly in cornstarch.
2. Fry the Tofu
-
Heat a layer of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Shallow fry the tofu until golden and crispy on all sides, turning as needed.
-
Toss the fried tofu in MSG or salt while still hot, then set aside on a plate.
3. Prepare the Blackberry Glaze
-
If the blackberries are hand-picked, rinse them thoroughly.
-
In the same pan used to fry the tofu, add the blackberries, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and soy sauce.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries break down into a thick, mushy consistency.
4. Finish the Glaze
- Turn off the heat and stir in the maple syrup and lime juice. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
5. Combine Tofu and Glaze
- Add the crispy tofu back into the pan and toss it gently in the blackberry glaze until evenly coated.
6. Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the tofu hot with a side of steamed rice or on a slice of toasted bread for a unique fusion dish.
