Marinated Tofu Recipe
Having a block of marinated tofu in the fridge that’s ready to eat makes me happy! I snack on it as is or use it to top salads or as a filler for an all-vegetable wrap.
Ingredients
- 1 block of firm or extra-firm tofu (I like
- Wildwood Organic Sprout Tofu)
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup tamari
- ¼ cup water
- 1½ tbsp grapeseed oil
- ¼ cup toasted sesame seeds (I like a mix of
- black and white)
Instructions
- 1
Cut tofu into medium-size cubes or slabs.
- 2
Place the apple cider vinegar, tamari, water and oil in a flat dish (I use a Pyrex).
- 3
Place tofu cubes in marinade, toss to coat. Allow to marinate for about 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towel.
- 4
Sprinkle the sesame seeds all over. Store in a glass dish/container in fridge. Serves
- 5
Note: Marinated tofu will keep in the fridge for 5 days.
Tips & Storage
- How to Store
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Make It Vegan
- Many vegetarian recipes can be made vegan by substituting dairy with plant-based alternatives. Check the ingredients and swap as needed.
- Nutrition Tip
- Pair with a whole grain or legume for a complete protein. This makes the meal more filling and nutritionally balanced.

Traditional Vegetarian Pad Thai
This recipe is a very traditional Pad Thai. It is simple in taste and not loaded with a goopy sauce. Tamarind paste is what gives it the authentic flavour. Tamarind paste can be found in most Asian grocery stores and some specialty stores.
