  Here's to another dish that tastes great with little work! This sesame tofu is prepared faster than takeout and baked to crispy perfection, topped with a mouthwatering sauce that is sweet, spicy, and garlicky. You may find yourself wondering if you will ever order takeout again! Serve with rice and steamed vegetables for an easy, naturally sweetened vegan dinner that takes 30 minutes to prepare. Together, let us succeed!   Recipe Inspiration This recipe is inspired by sesame chicken, which is commonly found in Chinese restaurants in the US and Canada (source). Its precise origin story is unknown, though it was probably originally inspired by a Chinese dish. Some claim it is based on General Tso's, while others attribute its inspiration to Sichuan La Zi Ji. Our plant-based, inspired version is made with tofu and has a similar sticky, spicy, and sweet (but not overly sweet!) glaze. Additionally, there is no deep-frying or battering in our version! How to Make Sesame Tofu It all begins with a different technique for making the tofu crispy! Rather than deep-frying, we chop the tofu into small pieces and bake it until it becomes slightly firm and has crispy edges. Then, using maple syrup, tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic, we make a straightforward but incredibly flavorful sauce over the stove. After that, we thin it out with a small amount of cornstarch and water slurry. The final steps are adding sesame seeds to the sauce and then stirring in the baked tofu until it’s well coated and irresistible! We can’t wait for you to try this sesame tofu! It’s: SpicyGarlickyA little sweetA little stickyCrisp on the edges& SO delicious! It pairs beautifully with rice (brown, white, or cauliflower “rice”) and steamed broccoli for a simple, weeknight-friendly meal. Other delicious pairings include our Sesame Sautéed Swiss Chard, Gingery Smashed Cucumber Salad, and Spicy Garlicky Edamame. More Flavorful Tofu Recipes Tell us if you give this recipe a try! Do not forget to rate it, comment, and tag @minimalistbaker on Instagram. Salutations, companions! Ten minutes for preparation minutesminutes Cooking Duration: 20 minutesminutes 30 minutes in total minutesminutes 4 Servings Introduction to the Course Vegan, Gluten-Free, Chinese-Inspired Cuisine Not freezer-friendly Does it hold up? Ideal when brand-new Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark TOFU 1 (14-16 oz / 397-453 g) package super-firm, high-protein tofu* 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil 1/4 tsp. sea salt SAUCE 3 Tbsp. maple syrup (or honey if not vegan) 2 ½ Tbsp. tamari or soy sauce (gluten-free as needed) 4 tsp. rice vinegar 4 tsp. toasted sesame oil 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes 2 large cloves garlic, grated or pressed 1/4 cup sesame seeds TO THICKEN SAUCE 1 Tbsp cornstarch* 1 Tbsp. water Start preparing now if serving over rice, cauliflower rice, or steamed broccoli. You can cook the rice in a rice cooker, on the stovetop, or in an Instant Pot. Place the steamer basket over boiling water and steam the broccoli for about 4–6 minutes, or until it is soft but still has a bright green color. If not, proceed to the following action:. TOFU: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius). Tear the tofu into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces and place on the baking sheet covered with parchment paper. To ensure the tofu is evenly coated, add oil, sprinkle with salt, and toss. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the tofu for 10 minutes, then flip it over with a spatula and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is golden and slightly firm with crispy edges. SAUCE: Combine the rice vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, maple syrup, tamari or soy sauce, and garlic in a medium-sized saucepan. Heat to a simmer on a medium setting. In the meantime, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and stir to mix. After the sauce starts to simmer, add the cornstarch
mixture, stir, and simmer for an additional three minutes or until the sauce thickens like honey. Take off the heat source and mix in the sesame seeds. Add extra maple syrup for sweetness, tamari for flavoring overall, garlic for zing, or red pepper flakes for heat, according to your taste. Put away. When the tofu turns golden brown, add it to the sauce and toss to coat completely. For a delicious dinner, serve warm with rice, steamed veggies, or other sides! The sauce can be prepared in advance and kept for up to a week in the refrigerator. Reheat in a saucepan, adding a little water if it gets too thick. If not, cooked food is not as good as fresh food. If super-firm tofu is not available, firm or extra-firm tofu will work in this recipe. If you are using extra-firm tofu, place something heavy, like a cast-iron skillet, on top of it and cover it with an absorbent towel to press out any excess moisture for ten to fifteen minutes. A tofu press is another option. Proceed with step 2 next.*If you want to use arrowroot starch instead of cornstarch, use only half as much of it. It may not look as pretty as it tastes, but the flavor will still be excellent!The nutritional information is a rough estimate that is calculated without any optional ingredients.*Based on Allrecipes' Sesame Chicken recipe.

Happy Shrove Tuesday (also known as Mardi Gras, 🥞Pancake Tuesday or Pancake Day)!
🪓Lumberjacks, loggers and miners in North America all survived 19th century camps by filling up on pancakes, as they were a good source of carbs and proteins. Thus the famous "Lumberjack Breakfast", which consisted of eggs🥚, bacon🥓 and a huge stack of pancakes🥞
In the old days, Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day was the last opportunity to use up eggs and fats before embarking on the Lenten fast and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients.
Today, we'll have yummy pancakes any day! 🥞

The Magic of Maple Syrup: From Tree to Table
Tumblr media
Maple syrup, one of nature's most popular sweeteners, is far more than just a breakfast condiment and could be seen as a testament to nature's bounty and human ingenuity. The deep flavour and smooth texture of this syrup have made it a staple in many households. In this article we take a look at the journey of maple syrup from tree to table, exploring its history, production process, and various uses. We also investigate the nutritional aspects and consider its place in the sugar spectrum from a health perspective.
What is Maple Syrup
Maple syrup is a sweet, natural syrup that's derived from the sap of certain species of maple trees, primarily the sugar maple. It has a rich amber colour and a distinctive sweet flavour. A traditional product of North America, and especially Canada, this natural sweetener is used in a variety of dishes and recipes, from pancakes and waffles to glazes and sauces. It continues to gain popularity as a healthier alternative to sugar and a store cupboard staple for healthy baking.
The Majestic Maple Tree
Maple syrup is made from the sap of maple trees which belong to the genus Acer. These majestic trees are primarily found in northeastern North America and Canada, with some species also found in Europe and Asia. When it comes to syrup production, not all maple trees are created equal. The Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) is the most commonly used due to its high sugar content. This species also referred to as the Rock Maple or Hard Maple, is native to the hardwood forests of North America and is easily identifiable by its five-lobed leaves and striking autumn coloration. The Black Maple (Acer nigrum), a close relative of the Sugar Maple, is another tree used for syrup production. Although it has a lower sugar content, it's favoured in some regions for its sap yield. The Red Maple (Acer rubrum) and the Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum) can also be tapped for sap, but they have lower sugar concentrations and shorter sap seasons, making them less ideal for commercial syrup production.
Organic Maple Syrup
Organic maple syrup production is a meticulous process that takes place under stringent guidelines to preserve both the purity of the syrup and the health of the trees. Certified organic maple farms need to adhere to strict practices set by organic agriculture regulations. These practices include maintaining healthy forests, using clean equipment, and ensuring no chemicals or pesticides are used in the vicinity of the trees. The tapping process is done with care to avoid harming the trees' health, and the collected sap must be boiled down promptly and without the use of artificial additives to preserve its natural qualities. This results in an organic maple syrup that is not only environmentally friendly but rich in natural flavour as well. Our maple syrup comes from the sap of organically grown maple trees, that is sourced from small independent family farms. It's thick and dark, with a robust flavour.
How is Maple Syrup Made?
Making maple syrup begins with the thawing of the winter's snow when the sap begins to flow. The process can be broken down into a few key stages: tree selection and tapping, sap collection, boiling, and finally, bottling and grading. Let's investigate the journey from tree to table and the art of maple syrup production. Selecting a maple tree for tapping Choosing the right maple tree for tapping plays a crucial role in the quality of the syrup produced. A mature maple tree, typically around 40 years old, is ideal for tapping. The tree should have a diameter of at least 12 inches, indicating that it is mature enough to withstand the tapping process without suffering damage. It is also essential to select a healthy tree, with no signs of disease or damage, as this can affect the quality of the sap. An optimal tree is often located in an area with good sun exposure, as this encourages ample sap production. The north or south side of the tree is usually chosen for tapping as these sides are more exposed to sunlight. The process of tapping maple trees Tapping maple trees is a delicate and timely process that typically starts in late winter when freezing nights and warmer days create pressure within the trees causing the sap to flow. It's an art that requires precision and care to ensure the health of the tree. Drilling is done about 2 to 4 inches deep into the tree, at a slight upward angle for the sap to flow out easily. A tap (also known as a spile) is inserted into the hole, and a bucket or plastic bag is attached to collect the dripping sap. It's important not to drill too deep as it could harm the tree. Each tree can support one to three taps, depending on its size. The sap drip is a slow process, and it can take all day to fill a single bucket. The holes heal naturally over time and don't significantly harm the tree. It is also worth noting that each tap gives about 10 gallons of sap throughout the season, which can be boiled down to produce approximately one quart of pure, sweet maple syrup. Transforming sap into syrup The transformation of sap to syrup requires patience and precision. Once collected, the sap is immediately filtered to remove any impurities such as bark or insects. The clear sap, which is about 98% water and 2% sugar, is then ready for the boiling process. Boiling the sap is a delicate process. The water must be evaporated, leaving behind only the concentrated sugary syrup. The sap is poured into a large flat pan, usually made of stainless steel, and heated. As the water evaporates, the sugar concentration increases. This process must be carefully monitored as the temperature needs to stay just above the boiling point of water, usually around 219°F (104°C). Once the sap reaches the right concentration, it transforms into a golden, viscous liquid. The syrup is then filtered again to remove any sugar sand - a gritty byproduct of boiling tree sap, and it's reheated briefly to kill any remaining bacteria. The hot syrup is immediately bottled, and the cooling process creates a natural vacuum seal that preserves the syrup's quality. This transformation from sap to syrup is a careful process of heating, evaporating, concentrating, filtering, and finally bottling. Each step is crucial to ensuring the distinct flavour and quality of pure maple syrup.
The Health Benefits of Maple Syrup
Of course, we eat maple syrup because of its delicious flavour, but many of us choose it as a natural source of sweetness that is less refined than standard sugar or syrup. But is maple syrup healthy, and how does it compare to other sweeteners? Maple syrup is packed with a variety of nutrients. Unlike refined sugar, which offers no nutritional benefits, maple syrup contains minerals such as manganese and zinc which contribute to overall bone and heart health. It also provides antioxidants that can bolster your immune system and help fight inflammation. Maple syrup is a natural, less refined source of sweetness, so it's free from the artificial colours or additives found in many processed sweeteners. With a lower glycemic index than white sugar, it causes less of a spike in blood sugar, making it a preferred choice for those monitoring their sugar intake. Check out our article about healthy baking to find out about enjoying more natural, less refined ingredients.
Honey vs Maple Syrup
But how does maple syrup measure up against that other popular all-natural syrup; honey? For many the choice may simply be about flavour or even texture (honey is slightly thicker than maple syrup) but it also often comes down to the question of which one is healthier. Is maple syrup healthier than honey? Honey is a rich source of antioxidants, including phenolic compounds like flavonoids. It is also high in fructose which is a natural sugar that can provide quick energy. However, it's worth noting that honey's high fructose content can also be a concern for those watching their blood sugar levels. On the other hand, maple syrup contains a lower percentage of fructose, making it a potentially better option for those monitoring their sugar intake. It also boasts a higher mineral content, including calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, and manganese. When comparing the sugar content and glycemic index of maple syrup and honey, both offer distinct characteristics. Honey contains more total sugars with about 82 grams per 100 grams, most of it being fructose which gives it a higher glycemic index of around 58. Maple syrup, contains less total sugar, around 60 grams per 100 grams, and has a lower glycemic index of approximately 54. This means that maple syrup may cause a slightly less rapid rise in blood sugar compared to honey, potentially making it a somewhat better choice for those trying to manage their blood glucose levels. However, it is worth remembering that both of these natural sweeteners should be used in moderation as part of a balanced diet. We do hope that you have found this article about the magic of maple syrup informative, and perhaps even learned something new!
