Sumac Tamari Tofu

• 2 tablespoons sumac
• 2 tablespoons tamari can use lemon zest as replacement
• 3 tablespoons ginger paste minced
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper fine
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 8 inches firm tofu rectangle planks of, pressed and patted dry
• salt /pepper to taste

1. Press and dry your tofu. Slice into planks.
2. Mix together your tofu marinade. Soak your tofu in the marinade for at least 30 minutes (I prefer keeping it marinated for a few hours, really soaks in the flavor)
3. Turn your stove to high heat and add a few tablespoons of safflower oil to pan. Add your tofu. Allow to cook for a few minutes - then flip. You may want to add some of the leftover marinade to keep the saute pan moist.
4. You want to let the tofu firm up a bit and finish cooking
5. When the tofu is cooked to your desired preferences, remove and set aside. I sprinkle over a few pinches of sumac right on top of the tofu.
