Healthy Recipes Ingredient Tofu Sesame-Crusted Tofu with Radish-Apple Slaw 5.0 (4) 4 Reviews We coat slices of tofu with sesame seeds for a delightfully crunchy crust and serve them with a tangy, refreshing slaw. We love the look of black and white sesame seeds combined, but if you have only one variety on hand, that will work well too. Serve this ultra-quick recipe with brown rice or soba noodles on the side.
