A simple recipe that makes your tofu sweet and savory. It is low in sodium, low fat, and uses minimal ingredients. The tofu marinade is also perfect for air frying or baking!
TOFU MARINADE OVERVIEW
This is my go to marinade because it’s quick and easy. I usually have the ingredients on hand in my fridge. You can use this marinade for any protein also. It doesn’t have to be tofu!
THE MARINADE BREAKDOWN
- One Block of Organic Firm Tofu – Cubed
- Rice Vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar
- Organic Coconut Aminos
- Organic Maple Syrup
- Gochujang – You may omit this to keep the marinade low in sodium
- Sriracha (for a more spicier kick) – This is optional!
- Cooking Spray
HOW TO MAKE THE TOFU MARINADE
STEP 1
Mix all ingredients in a container with lid.
STEP 2
Place the cubed tofus in the container with the marinade. Close container and shake to distribute marinade to the tofu. Marinate up to 30 minutes or overnight for the best flavors.
STEP 3
Preheat air fryer to 375F for 3 minutes. Spray airfryer with cooking spray. I used coconut oil. Place tofu chunks into the air fryer basket and air fry for 12 minutes. Halfway through the air frying (about 6 minutes) remove the basket and toss the tofu cubes around.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH THE MARINATED TOFU
You can serve the tofu with a side of rice. Sprinkle some green onions on top and you have a great meal!
Stuff the marinated tofu into a sandwich. Add your favorite veggies and slather some veganaise in between 2 sourdough breads. It’s the perfect lunch!
