    Published: May 15, 2015 Β· Modified: Feb 8, 2023 by Kushi Β· This post may contain affiliate links.

    Spicy Pan Seared Tofu with Kumquat sauce is sour, sweet and spicy(all in one) dish prepared using tofu, kumquat and sauces. I always love trying out new things and when we saw this kumquat I found it very cute, I had never seen it before πŸ™‚ we bought it. But now  I really dint no what to do with it.

    My husband knew tofu was my favorite and we love spicy food. so he suggested why not do something with tofu and kumquat. It was my husband who prepared this dish :)and let me tell you the dish was excellent. One of the best tofu recipe that I have ever tried. Kumquat was sour, the sauce was spicy and the tofu had developed a awesome flavor.

    This has become my favorite dish.. Loved it alot. I could not stop eating it. Do try this out and share your comments

    Ingredients for Spicy Pan Seared Tofu With Kumquat Sauce

    Extra firm Tofu - 8 oz

    Lemon Grass chopped - 1 tsp

    Kumquat - 6 oz

    Onion chopped - 1

    Black Pepper powder  - ΒΌ tsp

    Ginger grated - 1 tbsp

    Garlic cloves  - 5

    Red chilli flakes - 1 tsp

    Tomato Ketchup - 1 tbsp

    Soya sauce - 1 tsp

    Steps to prepare Spicy Pan Seared Tofu With Kumquat Sauce
    • Peel the skin of kumquat and keep it aside. retain any juice obtained while peeling.
    • Heat oil in large pan. Add tofu, sprinkle salt and fry it till it develops some color on both the sides.
    • Now move the tofu to the sides of the pan and add onion, ginger, garlic, black pepper, red chilli flakes, lemon grass and saute till it becomes translucent. I have done it in this way so that tofu develops some flavor  during the process.. (If you do not have large pan transfer the tofu to the plate and continue the process)
    • Add the soya sauce, worcestershire sauce, sriracha chilli sauce, brown sugar , red chilli powder, habanero and the juice of kumquat if you have obtained any while peeling and mix well.
    • Add the kumquat and saute for 5-6 minutes. Add 2 to 3 tablespoon of  water if desired to bring the sauce together.
    • Spicy Pan seared tofu with kumquat sauce is now ready. Serve it hot and enjoy
