Elevate your tofu game! Tofu doesn’t have to be bland and boring, it’s up to you – there are so many kick-ass ways to work with it. Layering flavours, seasoning, bring your favorite flavors into the mix.

For this recipe, we’ve used the Wicked Kitchen Sesame Togarashi spice blend for the added punch. If you don’t have access to these any vegan togarashi will do, check your local stores. We’ve used our Wicked Kitchen Asian BBQ Sauce that turns this dish into an authentic tasting Chinese takeaway, with a balance of crispy and saucy textures. Most stores will carry a char siu style BBQ sauce if you don’t have access to the Wicked foods yet. We’re working on making them more available in your country.

Here’s the recipe and for best results follow along with and use the video as a visual reference.

1 – 2 extra firm blocks of tofu, plain or smoked

Instructions

Tear tofu apart into bite-size pieces
In a medium-size bowl add and mix together all dry ingredients to create the coating.
Dredge each piece of tofu to cover evenly and set aside.
On medium-high heat, heat cast iron (shallow pan) until hot. Add even oil to cover the bottom and a little extra.
Shallow pan fry the tofu pieces 4 – 6 at a time making sure to rotate and turn to cook all sides.
