Notes & Wine Advice
Notes
Pressing the tofu is essential for achieving the best texture and allowing the sauce to fully absorb. For extra crispiness, cook a few minutes longer, but keep an eye on the glaze to prevent burning.Wine Advice
A slightly sweet Riesling pairs beautifully with the savory and spicy flavors. Alternatively, a light Pinot Noir offers a soft contrast to the umami richness of the dish.Nutrition values
