Easy Tofu Recipe
The best tofu recipe and only one you’ll need! This pan-fried tofu is vegan, easy, versatile, quick, and used with many of my tofu dishes when you're in a hurry.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 16 oz package extra firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon sriracha, optional
Instructions
- Press the tofu by wrapping it in an absorbent towel and placing something heavy on it to remove excess water (or use a tofu press). After the tofu is pressed, cube the tofu.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and add oil on medium heat. Add the tofu. Sauté for about 5 minutes, flipping occasionally to cook until golden brown.
- Add the soy sauce and maple syrup over the tofu. Then add the garlic powder, black pepper, and nutritional yeast and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Cook for additional time if you prefer yours more brown.
- Remove from heat and serve with your favorite dish or as a snack.
- Garnish options include black sesame seeds, scallions, or spicy sauce of your choice.
