Sweet & Salty crispy tofu marinade:

2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp spicy brown mustard
1/2 tsp hot sauce
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder

2. On one side of the tofu, score it in a criss cross pattern (watch the video for details).

Top tip - place a chopstick both sides of the block of tofu when scoring, to ensure you don't go right through accidentally, and you also get even cuts 👌😊

Right when I just “accidentally” bought 3 packs of tofu cause I hadn’t eaten tofu in weeks and got excited lol

karimevelasco

Perfect! My kids aren’t vegan like me, and they don’t really like beans or fake meat, but they LOVE tofu. I just needed more inspiration to make it more often.

mollygrace

Yes, great Tofu recipes! 😋
Thanks so much for sharing I just thawed 2 blocks to use this weekend.
What I've done to avoid oil and have Sesame flavor is to toast whole Sesame seeds then grind them, use as much as you need for recipes.

Incredible

After seeing your video today, I made this! I marinated the tofu in the fridge most of the day, then baked it. WOWZA
so good.

I’ve been eating eggs for years until I had to them up .to switch to plant based foods. I just bought tofu. I really appreciate you showing us a different was of using tofu for eggs! Thank you Derek!

Pineapple? Yep, that's definitely another level... Those dishes look really tasty and gorgeous! Tofu absorbs all the flavors and it is a great source of protein. And with the sauté mushrooms, you're killing me here, man.. my mouth is water now... Original and delicious recipe 👍

Oh man. Crystal mentioned sweet chili sauce tofu during your live, so I combined the two recipes... using this scoring method with firm tofu into the air fryer. good. Used regular parchment paper and just punched some holes in it. Thanks for the tofu game changer

jessiestring

Great idea to score the tofu blocks to get sauce in the tofu when we press it, and making tofu crispier 🙌

alexandrapaquette

Fantastic timing! We have just been talking about different ways to make tofu...we've had your crispy air fried tofu from your video awhile back about 2, 000 times now and we need to mix it up a bit 🙂

I have the barbecue pineapple one in the oven cooking now! Thank you so much for all your great recipes, I love watching you cook.

The creativity, execution, and presentation of this video is awesome! This would make even a meat-lover consider tofu. I can't wait to try the Buffalo Marinade!

goodaskale

I'm definitely trying the first marinade! I got tofu and a kabocha squash and had no idea how I was going to make the tofu but this will be perfect. Thanks for the amazing recipes!

These all look lush! I regularly make bbq tofu. I make crispy bbq tofu cubes to have with a quinoa tabouli salad, but have never tried it with pineapples. I make my own bbq sauce and love to add wasabi to it for a little extra kick. When I make the bbq cubes, I also have to bake some bbq tofu steaks, sliced as thin as possible as my family loves it cold for lunch the next day on pita bread with a salad. And if I don’t remember to do it, they get quite cross lol. But besides just adding my bbq sauce, I make up a bbq dry rub to put in it first…then as it cooks I brush the prepared bbq sauce on. I think it makes it much more intense in the bbq flavour.
I have got to try the buffalo one tonight! That one had me drooling. Well, tbh all three had me drooling and wishing it were dinner time! I am always looking for high protein and low carb meals and yours are always tasty af. Thank you. Warmest Wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I will definitely try a couple of these. One that I have done in the past is an overnight soak in a bag that was really good. Soy sauce and fresh ginger.... great. Keep up the great videos
