Chili-Lime Sesame Tofu Bowl

Method

1. Start by prepping your soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh ginger so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the shallots and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the sesame tofu, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the garlic and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with cracked black pepper right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
