Sesame tofu over spaghetti is visually stunning, not super difficult, is a full meal in a dish and is full of popping flavor. If I could I would eat this for lunch on the reg. The dressing definitely has a makom kavuah in my fridge because it’s just that good. Feel free to make this dish your own by adding more or less of whatever you like (more honey, less ginger etc.). You can use the dressing on chicken cutlets or fish instead of tofu and just change the cooking times. Also for pros here, try grilling the scallions and some orange slices!

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons Gefen Sesame Oil
