Sizzling Ginger-Lemongrass Tofu

• 1 stalk of fresh lemongrass, tender inner bulb only, minced
• One 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
• 1 tablespoon minced cilantro
• 2 teaspoons minced mint leaves
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
• 1 scallion, minced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Pinch of crushed red pepper
• 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
• 2 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
• One 14-ounce package firm tofu at room temperature-drained, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick

1. In a small, heatproof bowl, combine the lemongrass with the ginger, cilantro, mint, sesame seeds, scallion, garlic, crushed red pepper, soy sauce and rice vinegar.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the oil over high heat until almost smoking, about 2 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, arrange the tofu slices on a plate.
4. When the oil is hot, pour it over the lemongrass mixture; it will sizzle.
5. Immediately spoon the hot ginger-lemongrass sauce over the tofu and serve.
