Meatless Monday: Honey Sriracha Tofu

Crispy Honey Sriracha Tofu

In the space of a few short months, I’ve become a huge fan of tofu. This Honey Sriracha Tofu is one of the reasons why.

Little cubes of tofu are baked (not fried) until they develop a light crust, then tossed and heated with a simple honey, lime and Sriracha sauce.

You can find Sriracha in most larger grocery stores, but if it’s not available where you live, you can substitute another type of hot pepper sauce for it. The one tablespoon / 15 ml called for in this recipe makes the sauce reasonably hot, but not overwhelmingly so for people who like a bit of heat.

If you are not sure about your tolerance for heat, you can cut the Sriracha to two teaspoons / 10 ml.

Double the sauce ingredients if you like lots of extra for your rice or noodles.

This tofu dish is fast and easy to prepare, and even non-tofu fans will like the texture. You can double the sauce if you want extra for serving over rice or noodles with the tofu.

  • 1 lb / 454 g medium-firm or firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup / 60 ml honey
  • 2 tablespoons / 30 ml lime juice

    Do you press the water out of the tofu first? I’m going to try this tomorrow!

      I usually press it a bit, but it will still work fine with medium firm or firm if you don’t press it. I usually use medium firm 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂
