Vegan Tofu “Spam”
I love how versatile tofu is and how well it absorbs flavour so I decided to make some vegan tofu “spam”. I sliced the tofu into cubes and some into slabs before marinating it overnight in a smokey hickory sauce. The tofu gets the pinkish red colour from beet powder, which is optional but adds that nice touch to the tofu and makes it look more like spam visually.

Beet powder: the beet powder is what gives the tofu that spam-like colour. It’s completely optional and won’t affect the taste. I just love how it looked more like spam, visually!
You can also substitute the beet powder with Pitaya (pink dragonfruit) powder that has a more pinkish hue.

Have been using the recipe to make veg spam for tofu fried rice and it’s become a staple in our house!
Absolutely delicious! Followed the recipe exactly as written. Flavor was perfect - no changes needed. Used in fried rice and it was a big hit. Will definitely make this over and over again! Thank you for a great vegan recipe!!
Used this recipe for vegan "ham" in a ramen recipe. It was absolutely perfect. I'll be remaking this one.
Loved this. I cannot find the beet powder, so not as pretty but it was delish. Also added a few drops of toasted sesane sauce.
Did you make this recipe?
