Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 ounces super firm tofu, drained
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic granules
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon low sodium gluten free tamari
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Slice the super firm tofu ⅛" - 3/16" on a mandoline. I sliced mine 3/16" because I wanted thicker slices. As you slice, rotate the block. The corners may get stuck and break off, but if you rotate the block there will be less breakage.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add all of the rest of the ingredients Whisk.
- Place the tofu and the marinade in a large skillet. Cook on low for 2-25 minutes, or until the liquid cooks down.
Notes
You can use extra firm tofu but you'll need to drain and press it. It isn't quite as firm, but it works.
You could use a knife if you don't have a mandoline. Make sure to cut uniform slices, so it cooks at the same time.
This recipe will last about 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
