Ingredients

Tofu
1 lb firm tofu
1 tablespoon salt
Sauce

While tofu is heating, prepare the sauce. Heat the canola oil in a skillet and add the ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the cilantro, soy sauce and sugar. Cook for 1 minute over high heat.
Remove tofu from heat, drain, carefully transfer to a warm serving dish, and spoon sauce over it.
