Description
A simple way to cook tofu, with a savoury glaze/marinade. Great to add avocado toast, salads, or sandwiches!
Ingredients
Scale
For the marinade:
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (canola, olive, etc.)
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano or basil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- pinch of salt and pepper
For the tofu:
- extra firm tofu, cut into thin rectangles (or cubes)
Instructions
- Mix up the marinade in a jar (or in a small bowl, and store leftovers in the fridge). Slice up the tofu. You can either use the marinade as a glaze or as a marinade (choose your method below).
- To use as a glaze: Heat pan to medium heat, and add a spoonful of the glaze to the middle of the pan. Place the sliced tofu on the pan, then spoon extra glaze onto the tofu as it cooks for a few minutes. Flip once golden brown and crispy, and add on extra glaze if you want. Cook the other side for a few minutes, and it’s done!
- To use as a marinade: Place the sliced tofu and some of the marinade into a bowl or bag and let sit in the fridge for up to 30 minutes. Place the tofu onto a pan over medium heat. Let cook on each side for a few minutes, spooning on extra marinade if you so choose. Once each side is golden brown and crispy, you are done!
- Add cooked tofu to avocado toast, sandwiches, salads, bowls, stir fry, whatever you’d like!
