Honey-Ginger Sauce Recipe
This recipe is much more about the sauce rather than the tofu. Tofu is just only one of the many ways you could use it. You’ll love it if you like gingery flavors. It’s refreshing, flavorful with umami, savouriness and a slight sweetness. It is also incredibly versatile. After I made the tofu, I mixed up an extra batch of sauce to use as dipping sauce for hot pot and it worked perfectly, especially with beef!
If I were to make the tofu dish again though, I would probably cut the tofu into small cubes just for additional surface area and a better sauce-to-tofu distribution.

Gorgeous! Sounds like the perfect sauce for tofu
Thanks! It was great with tofu as long as the pieces are smaller I think~ and It totally goes with meat too!
This looks and sounds delicious! I definitely have to try it, but I think I’d like to use agave nectar instead of honey to make it vegan! Thanks for sharing
