Sticky Sesame Garlic Tofu
Ingredients:
1 block firm tofu (mine is 396g)
1/4 cup cornstarch (cornflour)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Sauce/coverage:
4-5 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1/4 cup soy sauce (Or less if you feel it salty)
2 tbsp tomato sauce (or ketchup)
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tsp cornstarch (cornflour)
2 tsp sesame oil
Process:
-Open your packet of tofu and drain the excess liquid. If you want a better texture (like “chicken”), freeze it overnight without his liquid and thaw the Tofu so you can drain it again.
-With your hands, break pieces of the tofu to create small pieces. Add cornstarch, salt and pepper to a bowl and cover.
-Spread the tofu on a baking tray and make sure that each piece does not touch or overlap. Add some oil and bake for 20 minutes at 200ºC (or until golden and crisp) or you can also fry it.
-Fry the garlic with a little oil until the garlic is slightly golden. Add the soy sauce, tomato sauce, sugar and vinegar. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
-Mix the water with the cornstarch and then pour it into the pan. Allow mixture to bubble, stirring frequently until thick.
Turn off the stove and stir in the sesame oil.
-Lastly add the baked tofu and stir well to cover it with the sauce.
-For a better touch, sprinkle sesame seeds, green onions (or green beans) and rice.
Thank you Susan!

Procedure:
1-Put our chicken to boil until it is well cooked, we will know it is well cooked when we introduce a fork, knife or toothpick in the thickest part of the chicken and no blood comes out. Then add tomato, onion, green chili and aromatic herbs and let it boil for 5 more minutes and then let it rest.
2-Begin to shred the chicken and place it in a frying pan previously heated with oil, add tomato, onion, chopped green chili and let it fry until everything has a golden color, then add salt, pepper and black sauce to taste.
3-In a bowl we begin to make our dough, adding a spoonful of achiote and a pinch of salt.
4-Preheat a pan with oil, and with our dough we will make thin tortillas and fry them and let them dry on paper towel to remove excess oil.
5-It is time to assemble our enchilada salvadoreña, on the tortilla I will put a base of chicken, add curtido, tomato sauce, grated cheese, slices of tomato and slices of hard-boiled egg and finally enjoy.
Thank you Sonia!
