Tofu Recipes Even Non-Vegetarians Will Love
By NADS WILLOW
Easy Tofu Burgers
The quick-to-make patties in this burger are made with extra firm tofu, mushrooms, black beans, and soy sauce, plus tomato paste and plenty of seasonings for extra flavor. The recipe calls for chia seeds, but if you're not vegan, you can use egg instead.
Tofu Bacon
The real taste of tofu bacon comes from the smoky marinade — which includes stirring soy sauce, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar with sesame oil, tomato paste, and spices. But the magic ingredient is liquid smoke, which gives the tofu that bacon-y flavor.
Salt and Pepper Tofu
For the crunch, press the water out of your tofu and dip the pieces into cornstarch. Fry onion, bell pepper, and broccoli with garlic, and fry the tofu separately, making sure it sizzles rather than steams. Lastly, combine the veggies and tofu with salt, pepper, and Chinese five-spice.
Easy Palak Tofu
It's really easy to add tofu in place of paneer cheese and give this classic Indian dish a vegan makeover. The green goodness of the spinach with the creaminess of the coconut milk and the fried-yet-soft tofu pieces creates that perfect balance of texture and taste.
Crispy Chilli Tofu
After crisping up cubes of tofu in sesame oil, coat them in a homemade chili sauce — start with brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic, and chili flakes, and then add sesame oil, rice vinegar, tomato ketchup, soy sauce, and a little water. Once the sauce is cooked, add the crispy tofu.
