Description
A delicious vegan salmon recipe made from extra-firm tofu, marinated and cooked to mimic traditional flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon miso paste
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- In a blender, combine the vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and miso paste, then blend until smooth to create your marinade.
- Cut the pressed tofu into strips resembling salmon filets.
- Make diagonal cuts on each piece for added flakiness.
- Marinate the tofu strips in the mixture for at least one hour or overnight.
- Optional: Coat the marinated tofu with nori and cornstarch for extra crispiness before frying.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and fry each piece until golden and crispy on all sides.
Notes
Letting the tofu marinate overnight enhances the flavor. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for a beautiful presentation.
