Instructions

1 ✓

Cook the quinoa according to package directions.

Tip: You can cook quinoa the day before; it stores well in the fridge.
2 ✓

Cube the tofu and marinate in soy sauce and juice of half a lime. Pat dry if very wet.

Tip: Salt draws moisture out of tofu.
3 ✓

Heat oil in wok and sear tofu until golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan or the tofu will steam.
4 ✓

In the remaining oil, sauté chopped onion, then add grated garlic and ginger.

Tip: Aromatics form the flavor base.
5 ✓

Stir in curry and turmeric, toast briefly, then deglaze with juice from the other lime half.

Tip: Lime juice lifts tasty browned bits from the pan bottom.
6 ✓

Whisk tahini with a little water until liquid, then pour into the wok. Return tofu to pan and heat through.

Tip: Don't boil tahini for long or it may separate.
7 ✓

Serve over quinoa, garnished with black sesame and cilantro.

Tip: Eat immediately while tofu is crisp.

Recipe FAQ

Why is my tahini bitter?
Tahini quality varies. Very bitter tahini might be old or over-toasted. A touch of honey or maple syrup can balance it.
