Balsamic Glazed Tofu

1Press the tofu: Place the block of (1) tofu on a plate lined with paper towels. Put another layer of paper towels on top of the tofu and place a heavy object on top to press out excess water (1 tablespoon). Let it sit for 30 minutes.

2Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix balsamic vinegar (¼ cup), soy sauce (2 tablespoons), minced garlic (2 cloves), and honey (1 tablespoon).

3Cut the tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into cubes or slices.

4Marinate the tofu: Place the tofu in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning the tofu halfway through marinating.

5Cook the tofu: In a skillet, heat olive oil (1 tablespoon) over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

6Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch (1 teaspoon) and water (1 tablespoon). Add the remaining marinade and bring to a simmer until thickened, stirring constantly.

7Glaze the tofu: Pour the balsamic glaze over the cooked tofu and toss to coat evenly.

8Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (1 tablespoon) and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Balsamic Glazed Tofu!
