Ingredients
- 1 400g extra-firm tofu
- 2 tsp salt reduce soy sauce
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ¼ red capsicum (bell pepper) sliced thinly
- 1 brown onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp mixed Italian herbs
- 1 tbsp salt reduce soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180℃ (350℉). Line a roasting pan with parchment paper.
- Drain and press the block of tofu to remove excess water and pat dry. Using the large grate on a grater (usually used to grate cheese), grate the tofu into shreds. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the first measure of soy sauce with the cumin, smoked paprika and chilli flakes. Gently mix the tofu with this mixture, then add the sliced capsicum.
- Lay the mixture out on the parchment paper, then bake in the oven for 30 minutes, gently turning over halfway through.
- When the tofu is baked, in a large frying pan, dry fry with a little water the onion and garlic until the onion is tranparent.
- Add the remaining ingredients, including the shredded tofu. Spread them evenly throughout the pan and gently cook for 2-3 minutes before flipping and repeating. That's it!
- You can serve tofu in a number of ways: in a buddha bowl, wraps, salads, through pasta or in a sandwich. The options are endless.
