These Tofu crumbles can be used in any recipe that calls for ground meat. They are flavor sponges, so they easily take any sauce or spice you use.
Serving Size
8-10 oz
Prep Time
15 minutes
Notes
Takes 2 days to properly prepare the tofu, so plan accordingly.
Ingredients
- 15 oz tofu, package extra firm
Instructions
- Slice tofu squares in half so you have 4 thin rectangles. Place in between several layers of paper towels.
- Place something flat and heavy on top- phone books or a heavy pan on a sheet pan. Let tofu sit for 5 minutes. Change the paper towels and repeat. This presses the liquid out.
- Wrap in fresh paper towels and place in freezer for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, remove from freezer and place in fridge for 24 hours to thaw.
- After the tofu has thawed, squeeze it like a sponge to remove the remaining liquid.
- Use your hands to crumble the tofu into a large bowl.
