Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup tamari
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teapoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 14 ounces extra firm tofu pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

  • Use a kitchen towel or paper towels to pat dry the pressed and cubed tofu. In an 8×8-inch baking dish or shallow bowl, arrange the tofu pieces in a single layer. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce,maple syrup, garlic, rosemary, black pepper, salt, and cayenne. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Pour the marinade over the top of the tofu, turning the pieces to coat. Marinate for at least 1 hour, and up to overnight, turning once.
  • Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, use a slotted spoon to transfer the tofu to the pan, keeping the pieces in an even layer. Cook for 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally to brown on all sides.
  • Add the remaining marinade and continue cooking for an additional 1 minute, until the marinade is reduced by at least half. Serve hot, cooled to room temperature, or cold.
