Sticky Tofu Mince

This one is for those tofu haters out there (and for everyone else obviously). I firmly believe anyone can like tofu because it’s so versatile, you just need to find your way of cooking it. This recipe is a great place to start, you can barely tell you are eating tofu in this recipe and the sticky sauce is so good! Serve with rice for a tasty meal.

Ingredients (serves 4)

Two blocks tofu, patted dry and crumbled small
1/2 red onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed

Sticky Sauce
2 tbsp thick vegan teriyaki sauce or coconut aminos
2 tbsp tamari
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
Optional: 1 tbsp vegan fish sauce (I use Culley’s)

4 servings rice, cooked, to serve
Chopped spring onions, to serve

Spicy version! Swap teriyaki/aminos for gochujang paste - this is also very yummy!

Method

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Crumble tofu onto a lined baking tray and spread out evenly. Place in the oven for 30 minutes, taking out halfway and turning the tofu over so all sides get crispy.

Meanwhile make your sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl.

Heat a large fry pan with oil then add onion and garlic. Fry until translucent then add cooked crumbled tofu. Add your sauce and simmer for 10 minutes on a low heat until thickens. Serve on some rice with chopped spring onions
