Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine oil, soy sauce, and spices. Form a fairly runny paste. If required, add a little bit more oil.
- Using your hands, crumble up the super firm tofu into small pieces. Make sure no major sized bits are left remaining. It's okay if the crumbles differ in size - they will crisp up differently and provide a great variety of texture.
- Add the crumbled tofu into the bowl with the seasoning paste. Combine well, making sure that all the tofu pieces are coated evenly.
- Lay all the tofu pieces on a covered baking sheet.
- Stirring occasionally, bake at around 355°F for 25-35 min, or until all of the tofu is nice and crispy. Some pieces will be darker than others, and that's perfectly fine - just make sure not to burn them.
- Finish the tofu with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, if desired, for an extra cheesy note and B-vitamins!
- Heat up the salsa in a saucepan until it's hot all the way through and reaches a nice, thick consistency. If desired, this is where you add your black beans for the final minute or two of cooking.
- Mix your tofu with your salsa mixture. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill your tortillas with the tofu mixture. Add veggies, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Lay the tofu slices flat on a stack of paper towels; top with more paper towels, then put a heavy skillet on top to press out the excess water, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the coleslaw, radishes, cilantro, scallions, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lime zest and half of the lime juice in a large bowl. Mix the yogurt with the remaining lime juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Brush the tofu on all sides with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the tofu and cook until it begins to crisp, about 5 minutes; flip and cook 2 more minutes. Cut into strips.
- Toast the tortillas in a dry skillet, 1 minute per side, or wrap in a damp towel and microwave, 1 minute. Fill with the tofu, cheese and slaw, then drizzle with the yogurt sauce and salsa. Serve with the lime wedges.
TERRIFIC TOFU TACOS

Steps:
- If you freeze the tofu first, then cook with at after thawed, it will have a meatier texture. After thawed, cut the tofu into a couple of pieces, similar in size. Place on paper towels, then top with paper towels, then put a heavy weight on top (a couple of phone books work well--put some plastic wrap between the tofu and the books or you'll have soggy books). Let sit for at least 30 minutes. The purpose of this step is to squish as much water out of it as possible, making it even more convicing as "meat". After you are satisfied that you've gotten as much of the water out as you can, slice the tofu into 1/4" cubes. Toss in a bowl with olive oil and the taco seasoning. Fry over medium heat until crispy.
- While that's cooking, toss the cabbage (or lettuce if you have to), onion and cilantro in a bag or bowl or some other reservoir. Then heat the refried beans. And last but not least, in a separate skillet, fry the tortillas one by one, using a couple of tablespoons of the corn oil(or whichever type you prefer)each.
- I layer the ingredients on the tortillas just like you would a taco. These are very filling and even big burly guys will find it hard to eat many more than 3!

25 SIMPLE TOFU RECIPES - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (1)Published 2021-12-07Category Recipe Roundup
- Pan-Fried Sesame Garlic Tofu. To pan-fry tofu until it’s crispy, you’ll need firm tofu. Not only that, but you’ll also need to press it. Tofu is usually full of excess moisture, and if you don’t get rid of that, the dish will wind up mushy and gross.
- Honey Sriracha Tofu. Since this dish calls for honey, it’s not 100% vegan. If you want it to be, just swap the honey for agave or brown sugar. Though you could leave it out, I find Sriracha can be overwhelming after a few bites.
- Tofu Stir-Fry with Vegetables in a Soy Sesame Sauce. Since tofu is so often cooked as part of a stir-fry, pressing it is vital. If you leave any excess moisture in the block, everything will steam instead of fry, and you won’t get a nice crispy finish.
- Crispy Tofu Without Deep-Frying. When you eat crispy tofu in a restaurant, more often than not, it’s been deep-fried for maximum texture. If you don’t have a deep fryer or don’t want the added calories, try lightly frying in a non-stick pan instead.
- Crispy Air Fried Tofu. Want something even healthier? How about crispy tofu made with minimal oil right in the air fryer? Air fryers work by rushing hot air around food through convection heat.
- General Tso’s Tofu. I’m sure that General Tso’s is something we’ve all had, and it’s a big favorite in my house. I usually have it with battered, crispy chicken when I feel like something naughty.
- Sweet and Sour Tofu. Sweet and sour is one of those dishes that you can easily serve to a family or crowd. Kids and grown-ups alike love it, and it’s easier than you think to recreate at home.
- Asian Garlic Tofu. Hoisin sauce is like Asian BBQ, and by that, I mean you can put it on anything, and it will taste amazing. It’s deeply flavorful and rich, not to mention excellent with everything from chicken and tofu to beef and pork.
- Easy Tofu Tacos. I’ve talked a lot about pressing excess mixture out of tofu, so it holds its shape. But did you know you can crumble it too? When you crumble it and cook with the right spices, it tastes just like ground beef tacos.
- Teriyaki Tofu. This recipe is all about the sauce. Start by cooking the tofu until crispy, then remove it from the pan and set it aside. Next, cook the ginger for a minute or so before adding the onions.

- In the bottom of a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, soy sauce, chili powder, chipotle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Crumble the tofu into small pieces in the bowl. With a fork, stir to combine. The tofu should be in small bits. Toss until the tofu is evenly coated with the spices. I find it fastest and easiest to use my hands.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium high. Add the tofu crumbles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is dry and the moisture has cooked off, about 6 minutes. Add the black beans, salsa, and nutritional yeast. Cook until warmed through and the salsa liquid has cooked off, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Spread the tofu mixture into an even layer. Place under the broiler and cook until darkened on top, about 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir to expose new parts of the tofu to the top, then spread back into a single layer. Return to the oven and broil 4 additional minutes. Remove from the oven and repeat the stirring and broiling once more (3 times total). Pile the filling inside warm tortillas and top with all of your favorite fixings.

- Slice a drained and pressed block of tofu crosswise into 10-12 rectangles of about 1/2 - 1/3 inch thickness. (A tofu press like tofu press like this one is very helpful for pressing tofu).
- Cook tofu rectangles in single layer batches in a large heavy-bottomed saute pan with a splash of oil, about 2-3 minutes per side, until each piece becomes slightly crispy and golden in color. Set aside.
- Slice each cooked tofu rectangle into 3 strips lengthwise, being careful not to break them. Gently toss in the marinade, making sure that all tofu pieces are covered in sauce. I usually let my tofu marinate until the fajita vegetables are cooked (about 5 minutes), but feel free to marinate for up to 30 minutes.
