Maple Soy Glazed Tofu. Extra firm tofu glazed in a simple maple syrup soy sauce. A delicious plant-based protein that is easy to make and works well as a side dish. Great for dinner or lunch. Works well as leftovers too.
Sometimes when I don't feel like having meat, tofu is my go to source for protein. It's delicious when you marinate it right. Tofu absorbs flavours well, so it's a great vegan protein to switch up the flavour profile to whatever you feel like whether that sweet and salty or more savoury.
I made this maple soy sesame tofu for my husband who likes to have tofu on a regular basis. He doesn't eat a lot of meat but he still has it from time to time, just not a lot.
I wanted to make this tofu more tasty and versatile so he could simply pair it with white rice, veggies and bring it to the office for work or have it at home.
This dish takes 10 minutes to prepare and about 30 minutes to marinate. For optimal flavour, marinate it for 60 minutes or overnight.
