Time to marinate at least 1 hour
[:de]Portionen[:en]Servings[:] 2 poeple

[:de]Zutaten[:en]Ingredients[:]

  • 200 g tofu*

For the marinade:

  • 2 Tbsp native coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp tamari**
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp tomatoe paste
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne

[:de]Anleitung[:en]Instructions[:]

  1. Take the tofu out of the package, rinse it briefly and then press it between 2 kitchen paper towels for about half a minute to let the liquid run out. 

  2. Cut the tofu lengthwise into 0.5 cm thick stripes. For me 1 tofu block equals 6 stripes.

  3. Mix all ingredients for the marinade in a shallow dish, then put in the tofu stripes one after the other, and cover them well with the marinade.

  4. The tofu should now marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge. The longer it marinates, the more it absorbs the taste of the marinade.

    If you have the time, you can marinate the tofu a day in advance and leave it overnight.

[:de]Anmerkungen[:en]Notes[:]

*Please pay attention to buying organic quality. Only then can you be sure that the soybeans in your tofu are GMO free or free of pesticide-contamination. 

 

**You can also use regular soy sauce, if the dish doesn't have to be gluten-free.

 

I always choose organic produce whenever possible. It's not only much better for my health (and yours, too), but also for our environment. 🌍💫💚
