Tofu loves spicy notes and it loves rich nutty flavours – bring these two elements together and we have this dan dan noodle inspired dish of crispy baked tofu with an incredibly delicious dressing. This is just ridiculously tasty on our noodles and crispy tofu knots as a satisfying veggie dinner that packs a punch of flavour.
Yes you heard that right – tofu knots can be baked like pasta! Their texture and subtle flavour really reminds us of pasta sometimes and so we have come up with some super high protein pasta-like dishes like this one! Inspired by mac and cheese or fish pie, this tofu knot with béchamel sauce enhanced by miso is so rich and indulgent, it is a great centrepiece for a vegetarian meal that’s a bit different. Quick to absorb the creamy sauces and tomatoey sauces, use your imagination to try our tofu knots in a range of pasta inspired sauce.
This is probably our favourite way to enjoy tofu knots! It has everything going for it – sweet and spicy, crunchy, chewy and a little bit naughty. We enjoy this a lot in our team, and we cannot get enough! This is an addictive sauce inspired by Korean fried chicken and it’s the bomb!
Featured in the Tofu Tasty cookbook this is a real twist on a traditional way of enjoying tofu knots. Loads of texture and satisfaction, we dare you to stop at one!
Love a noodle soup, but want to make it satisfying without the meat? Tofu Knots are a super protein-rich topping for noodle soups that is not only super convenient but also vegan and gluten-free to suit almost all diets! Containing 45% protein these are so nutritious and filling you wont need many of these for a satisfying meal.
This super simple stir fry dish is so easy and nutritious, it will become a weekly staple stir-fry. Fresh tofu is a lovely way to make a vegetarian stir-fry but it can easily break apart in the pan or lack chewy texture. Dried tofu knots are different - naturally chewy with plenty of bite, they retain their shape in the pan, no matter how much you toss them around. Great for light or thick sauces, they absorb your flavours readily.
Did you spot me on Sunday Brunch this weekend? I had so much fun presenting summer barbecue ideas that were suitable for VEGANS! Of course, it was a great opportunity to showcase our Craft Tofu Knots once again!
If you are new to dried tofu, you might be interested to know that there are actually many different shapes of dried tofu. From flat fragile sheets, to sticks, twists, and in our case, Tofu Knots. Each shape is largely designed for a certain dish in Asia, depending on how much sauce it will absorb and the texture you want.
Don’t worry if you don’t know what dried tofu is - it is a fairly new ingredient outside of China and Japan. So here’s what you need to know about dried tofu.
Our tofu knots are made with just soybeans and water, a totally pure cooking ingredient which is quite rare these days with the expansion of vegan cooking ingredients such as veggie burgers and sausages.
As Tofu Knots are fairly new outside of China, we want to share with you some of our favourite ways to cook tofu knots.
There is no right or wrong way to prepare tofu knots, it all depends on your preference!
Tofu Tasty is of course a brand that is inspired by the title of my second book. I am passionate about sharing interesting Asian ingredients that I love, and bringing it to the masses. Taking the fear out of using the many cupboard staples that have sustained millions of Asian kitchens for thousands of years.
My Coca Cola tofu knot skewers are inspired by a Hong Kong classic, Coca Cola chicken wings. Savoury, sweet and sticky, this is the ultimate BBQ marinade. Here, we have applied this classic sauce to our favourite Craft Tofu Knots from our sister brand Tofu Tasty, and served on a skewer for easy sharing with your guests.
