- 3 Tbs Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon Hot Sauce (EG cholula or Tabasco) (or to taste)

Marinade #4 The Indian Spiced
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ⅓ teaspoon turmeric
- 3 Tbs Soy Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 Tbs Mirin or white wine
Instructions
- Slice the tofu into 5-8 mm slices
- Put the slices between tea towels or paper towels and put something heavy on top.
- Leave for at least 1 hr - or up to 3hrs, to take the moisture out.
- Put all the ingredients for the marinade in a plastic container that you can fit all the slices of tofu in a single layer.
- Mix the marinade around until it is combined, then add the tofu. Turn the tofu pieces in the marinade so they are covered in it!
- Pop the container in the fridge and leave for a few hours, or better, overnight, so the tofu soaks up loads of flavour!
- Pan fry the tofu so it's crispy on each side (around 10 mins) or bake in a moderate oven (200C / Gas mark 6) for 45 mins.
- Serve on a sandwich, in a salad, a stir fry
Notes
Make a whole pack or two of these ready to add to sandwiches, to stir fries, or just to snack on!
