Hoisin Tofu

March 9, 2015 Mary 8 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Hoisin TofuHoisin Tofu is kind of sweet, kind of spicy, and sure to make even confirmed tofu skeptics question their bias against it.

This isn’t tofu masquerading as chicken or ham or hotdogs.

(I remember eating ‘mock chicken’ at a restaurant years ago that was complete with a mock pocky skin. Never again. That is what gives tofu such a bad name!)

This dish has those unmistakeable cubes that can’t be anything but, so there’s no hiding it. You put that down on the table and some of your kids might squirm. But they’ll come round.

It’s quick and easy.

Just cut your tofu into cubes, pour the sauce over, and bake for 25 minutes. Serve with rice and some steamed veggies and you’ve got a healthy meal on the table.

Recipe Notes

*Five Spice Powder is a combination of fennel, cinnamon, cloves, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns. It has a very distinctive taste. You should be able to find it in the spice section of larger supermarkets, or in Asian grocery stores.

    Thank you for unapologetically using tofu as … drum roll …. tofu.
    This looks great!
