Crispy Tofu Burrito Bowl

Instructions

1. Remove the tofu from the package and drain any excess liquid. Place the tofu on 3-4 paper towels. Then add another 3-4 paper towels on top.

2. Place a clean heavy frying pan or pot on top of the tofu for 30 minutes. This will "press the tofu" and squeeze out any excess moisture. If your pan isn't too heavy you can add canned beans to create more weight.Replace the paper towels halfway through if they become too wet.

3. Once the tofu has been pressed, chop it in to 1-inch squares and place in a bag.

4. In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. I used honey mustard marinade but you can use any of these six tofu marinade flavors. Pour the marinade into the bag with chopped tofu and place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes or longer.Note: These marinades work best when tofu can be soaked for at least a few hours – I prefer to marinate overnight.

5. Heat a frying pan with a bit of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Pan should be hot before adding in the tofu and sauce. Cook until the tofu is browned on each side, about 8-10 minutes.

6. The sauce will reduce during this time and the tofu will get crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.
