You Will Need (6 things)

  • 400 g Tofu , drained and pressed for at least 30 minutes
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil (or oil of your choice)

Steps (3 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Slice the tofu into 5mm thick strips. In a bowl mix the tomato, soy sauce, maple syrup and smoked paprika into a smooth paste. Coat the tofu in the marinade.

  2. 2

    In a pan, heat the oil over a medium-high heat. Add the tofu to the pan, spacing the slices evenly. Fry for around eight to ten minutes, turning occasionally, until they have crisped and browned.

  3. 3

    Take off the heat and remove any excess oil using kitchen roll. Serve as you please – as part of a cooked breakfast, in a sandwich, or chopped into small bits as a topping!
