Ingredients

2 tablespoons tamari 

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil 

1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce 

2 tablespoons vegetable oil 

8 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, pressed, and cut into matchsticks 

Kosher salt 

4 celery stalks, cut into matchsticks 

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger 

2 tablespoons minced scallion 

2 tablespoons minced cilantro stems 

Preparation

Stir together tamari, sesame oil, chili-garlic sauce, and 1 tablespoon water. In a large nonstick skillet, heat vegetable oil over high until just smoking. Add tofu and cook, turning once, until golden, 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

Add celery (and additional oil, if needed) to skillet and cook, stirring often, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in ginger, scallion, and cilantro; cook 30 seconds. Return tofu and add tamari mixture to skillet. Toss to coat; serve.
