Keto Vegan Sesame Crusted Tofu
High in protein, tofu is a great way to get in iron and protein if you are a vegan. To make sure the tofu gets a nice sear, be sure to press the tofu between two plates with a weight on top and paper towels in between. The pressed tofu is then coated in a lightly salted coconut flour and sesame seeds then seared to perfection. After the tofu is seared, they are coated in a soy-rice vinegar reduction. Great with cauliflower rice and dark green veggies!

I noticed that it says to serve it immediately. But is there any chance to refrigerate it?

I made a batch yesterday and ate 1 serving right away. The remainder, I refrigerated and this morning I heated it up in the air fryer. Still soft but maybe it could have been in the air fryer longer. Still tasty

I made a four serving amount- and Definitely needed to double the sauce, and should have doubled the amount of flour and sesame seeds. But, it tastes great even as I made it!
