Sesame Ginger Tofu

Ingredients

Sesame Ginger Tofu

  • 1 pound organic, non-GMO tofu
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • ¾ tablespoon aluten-free, reduced sodium tamari
  • ½ tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Method

Step 1

Rinse the tofu, pat dry, and cut into small cubes. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Carefully place the tofu in the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, turning the tofu occasionally to brown on all sides.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine ginger, garlic, tamari, rice vinegar and sesame seeds, pour over the tofu, and stir. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer about 6-8 minutes until the liquid has reduced so that the tofu is lightly glazed.

We all want to feel vibrant and live longer, healthier lives, but in today’s world, we need more than just a healthy diet and exercise to make that happen. Our bodies have a remarkable ability to thrive and even reverse signs of aging when given the right tools—yet, unfortunately, modern food systems have made it harder to get the nutrients we need to unlock that potential.

One nutrient I’m particularly passionate about is C15:0 - a powerful fatty acid with three times the cellular benefits of omega-3s, yet it’s often overlooked. This is why I choose fatty15. It’s a groundbreaking supplement that bridges the gap, delivering what even the healthiest diets can miss.

The research is clear: C15:0 helps repair and replenish our cells, strengthens cell membranes, and targets key drivers of aging at the cellular level.

What’s more, studies show that low levels of C15:0 are linked to Cellular Fragility Syndrome - a condition associated with accelerated biological aging. This makes it more important than ever to include this nutrient in your routine.

Fatty15 provides pure, award-winning C15:0 in a highly bioavailable form, so you get the most out of every dose. With its science-backed benefits and uncompromised quality, it’s a powerful tool to help you take control of how you age.
