VeganElls: 2017

This tofu is so good it made me believe in tofu. It's vegan and it kicks ass.

This is not the bland, mushy stuff you get at lousy restaurants, or the tasteless, oily stuff found in cheap cuisine. No, this tofu is chewy, sassy, and bursting with flavour!

Use in stir-fries, on salads, or as a fridge snack. Amazing! Omnivores love this too. Reminds them of BBQ.

What you need:


1 package EXTRA FIRM tofu (I use Mandarin Soyfoods Organic pressed) 2 TBSP Olive oil 1/4 C Soy sauce or Bragg's Amino Acids 1-2 TBSP Maple Syrup or Agave Syrup 1-2 TBSP Fresh ginger 4-5 garlic cloves Black pepper to taste

For even more taste explosion you can also add:

Orange or grapefruit juice

Hot sauce or pepper flakes
1 tsp roasted sesame oil
Rice vinegar

Make it!

Take the tofu out of the package, rinse, and cut into bite-sized cubes. This particular tofu is so firm that it doesn't need to be pressed, but if you find your tofu is less firm, look up how to press tofu online (that helps to get the water out of it).

Chop the ginger and garlic. Here's a handy tip: to peel the ginger, use the side of a spoon.

Except the sesame seeds, mix all the rest of the ingredients together to make about 2 cups of marinade. If you are low you can add orange or grapefruit juice (more tangy flavour), or water or broth (less tangy flavour). Put the tofu in a deep bowl and marinate, covered in the fridge, for as long as you have: an hour or overnight. Stir every once in awhile to get the flavour on all of the chunks.
