• porciones: 2 servings
• tiempo total: 25 minutes

Ingredientes

One 14-ounce block firm tofu, drained

1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 small shallot, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, grated

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon honey

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cups baby arugula (about 3 ounces)

2 small heads endive (about 6 ounces), core removed and roughly chopped

Instrucciones

Wrap the tofu in a clean dish towel and place on top of a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Place a heavy pan on top of the tofu and let sit for 10 minutes to release as much moisture as possible. Unwrap the tofu and slice horizontally, like a bagel, so you have 2 even pieces.

Meanwhile, stir together the breadcrumbs, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of the cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper in a pie dish or shallow bowl. Set aside.

Whisk together the shallots, garlic, vinegar, 1 teaspoon of the honey, 1 teaspoon of the hot sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and whisk until emulsified. Add the arugula and endive and toss to evenly coat. Set aside.

Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons honey, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Press the tofu into the breadcrumb mixture and coat all sides. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

Flip the tofu with a metal spatula and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to serving plates, drizzle with the hot honey, season with salt and serve with the salad.
