Ingredients
For the tofu
- 500 g firm tofu
- 100 g cashews
For the tofu marinade
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon tamari or gluten free soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and press it between your hands to remove any excess water.
- Cut the tofu block in 2 or 3 slices. Cut them into small cubes (see step-by-step pictures in post above).
- Blend the cashews in a food processor until ground.
- Place the tofu cubes and ground cashews into a bowl. Mix until the cubes are partly coated. The cashews will get a little wet due to the remaining moisture of the tofu.
- To make the marinade, mix the olive oil, sesame oil, tamari and maple syrup in a small mixing bowl.
- Add the sauce to a large pan and heat over medium-high heat until it small bubbles start to appear.
- Add the tofu, toss and let sit without stirring for 5 minutes over medium-high heat.
- Then, stir it all up. Brown 5 more minutes while stirring regularly.
