Crock-Pot Sesame Tofu

As a child I was not really fond of tofu, or any form of Chinese food. Now as an adult, I have come to realize that some of it is quite tasty and if made right is quite enjoyable. This recipe I found off of Pinterest, but I have changed it so much that it has become my own recipe. It originally was for Sesame Chicken. I hope you enjoy it. By the way, my girls approve of this one. Probably because it is so sweet.

Crock-Pot Sesame Tofu

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

3 Package of firm or Super firm tofu (chopped in bite size pieces)

1/2 cup honey

2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce

1/2 onion, diced

2/3 cup ketchup

2/3 cup water

2/3 cup brown sugar

1 Tbsp sesame seed oil or extra-virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced, pressed or grated

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1 Tbsp sesame seeds

2 cups dry brown rice

1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 lb broccoli florets

Method:

Put tofu into crock pot.

In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, onion, water, ketchup, brown sugar, oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour over tofu.

Cook on low for 2-3 hours or on high 1 1/2 – 2 1/2 hours, or just until tofu is cooked through and marinates.

Cook rice according to package directions.

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet until hot. Add broccoli and saute 5-6 minutes or until cooked but tender. Add to tofu mix in crock-pot.

Serve tofu over rice and garnish with sesame seeds.
