Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz) package firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 8 large scallions thinly sliced, green and white parts separated
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sambal oelek or sriracha
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 8 oz whole-wheat linguine
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • ⅓ cup toasted sesame seeds, divided

Directions

1) Cut tofu into 1/2-inch thick slabs. Arrange in an even layer on top of paper towels and place additional paper towels on top. Press down gently, yet firmly to blot and allow to drain while preparing the other ingredients.

2) Heat 2 tbsp canola oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves, ginger, scallions whites and sauce for 5 minutes or until scallions start to brown.

3) Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together black pepper, soy sauce, sambal oelek, tahini, sugar, and rice vinegar until smooth.

4) Transfer sautéd aromatics to the bowl with the tahini sauce. Transfer half the sauce to a small bowl and set aside.

5) Cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and stir into the sauce remaining in the large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and then transfer to a Suvie pan. Place pan in the bottom zone of Suvie. Input cook settings and cook now or schedule.
