Tofu provides the protein, while ginger, scallions, chili-garlic sauce, and cilantro kick up the flavor. Ingredients 2 tablespoons tamari ½ teaspoon sesame oil 1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 8 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, pressed, and cut into matchsticks Kosher salt 4 celery stalks, cut into matchsticks 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger 2 tablespoons minced scallion 2 tablespoons minced cilantro stems Directions Stir together tamari, sesame oil, chili-garlic sauce, and 1 tablespoon water. In a large nonstick skillet, heat vegetable oil over high until just smoking. Add tofu and cook, turning once, until golden, 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Add celery (and additional oil, if needed) to skillet and cook, stirring often, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in ginger, scallion, and cilantro; cook 30 seconds. Return tofu and add tamari mixture to skillet. Toss to coat; serve. Print
