Sesame Crusted Tofu

Here the tofu slices are browned before being dredged in bread crumbs and sesame seeds and then browned again, forming a nice toasty crust. Serve with soy sauce and a quick stir-fry of your favorite vegetables. If you can’t find black sesame seed, just sub in regular sesame seeds.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup. fat-free milk
  • 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
  • ½ tsp. salt, divided
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • 3 Tbsp. bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp. white sesame seeds
  • 1 Tbsp. black sesame seeds
  • ½ tsp. sesame oil
  • 12 green onions, halved

Directions

  3. On a large plate, mix together the bread crumbs, white and black sesame seeds, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
