Servings: 4 people
Calories: 96kcal
Ingredients
- 1 454g block medium or firm tofu (I've used medium - don't use soft, it will fall apart)
- 1½ tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (use gluten free if needed - I like Braggs Soy Seasoning for a gluten free, lower sodium alternative)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or another flavourless cooking oil)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven's broiler (top heat in oven - your 'grill' if you're not in N. America).
- Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes and place on a baking tray. (You're welcome to press your tofu if you like, but it's not essential.)
- Toss cubes in soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and avocado oil and make sure they're well coated.
- Broil in oven for 10 minutes, then flip tofu cubes.
- Broil for another 10 minutes, or until tofu is golden.
- Enjoy in your favourite stir fry, salad or buddha bowl!
Notes
Store any uneaten cooked tofu in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It's great on buddha bowls and vegan noodles.
I don't recommend freezing.
