Tofu that's not flavorless!
I love thisTofu. I’ve been making it since I lived in Hawaii when my kids were babies. I used to get this from a place in Maui called The Good Earth. They served it over brown rice. I was a strict vegetarian back then, (I’m a pescatarian now) and this was one source of protein that was really satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 block Tofu extra firm
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/8 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp liquid aminos or soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp Spike seasoning to taste
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp pepper to taste
Instructions
- Drain water from tofu and wrap in paper towels. On top of the wrapped block of tofu, set something heavy (like a cutting board with a cookbook on top) to squeeze out as much water as possible. Let sit for 15 minutes or so. Cut into cubes
- Sauté tofu cubes in canola oil on high heat for 5 minutes on each side or until browned.
- Blot off any excess oil in the pan and cooked cubes.
- Season with spike, salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle with nutritional yeast and toss to distribute.
- Spray or sprinkle liquid aminos or soy sauce
Notes
There are so many things you can use this for but we like to serve in a bowl with:
Rice, edamame, steamed veggies like broccoli or zucchini, Pepitas or other chopped nuts.
You can make different varieties with cilantro, chopped tomatoes or salsa, chopped olives, cheese, sour cream, garlic sauce.
