TOFU 101
Dice, grate, chop, crumble, slice, roast, fry, grill, steam? Anything goes, nothing has to. Here we show you how to process your tofu/quinoa.
Tofu Crumble

1
Mash the tofu into crumbs with a fork.

2
Done. Give me a frying pan.

3
Heat frying oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the tofu crumbs and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. You can also fry them for longer if you like them crispier.
Crunchy Tofu Cubes

1
Cut the omami tofu of your choice into even cubes.

2
Roll the cubes in cornflour of your choice.

3
Heat a sufficient amount of frying oil in a pan for deep-frying. Fry the cubes on all sides until they are golden brown and crispy. Mmm!
Half tofu slices

1
Cut the omami chickpea tofu into 2 halves, which you then cut in half again.

2
Heat a pan with a little oil. Fry the slices on both sides until crispy.
Tofu Shreds

1
Preheat the oven to top/bottom heat 175°C.

2
Press the medium-firm omami chickpea tofu firmly with the side against the grater and slowly move it downwards. You will need to feel how firmly you can press without breaking the tofu. After a few grating movements, omami and you will be a well-coordinated team.

3
Place the shreds on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 20 minutes or until they are slightly crispy. This is slightly different for every oven.
Tofu triangles, breaded, fried

1
Cut the omami chickpea tofu in half lengthwise. Divide each side into 8 triangles.

2
Mix the starch and water together with the omami chickpea tofu marinade from the packet until the mixture thickens. Turn the triangles in the starch mixture and then roll in breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs.

3
Heat a pan with 2 tbsp oil and fry the breaded omami chickpea tofu on both sides until crispy and golden brown.
Tofu slices, breaded

1
Cut the omami chickpea tofu in half. Mix the marinade from your chickpea tofu with a little starch and milk of your choice to make a thick mixture that can just be mixed and place it on a plate. Put the breadcrumbs on another plate.

2
For the breading, first roll the halves thoroughly in the starch mixture and then in the breadcrumbs.

3
Heat oil in a frying pan. Fry the breaded omami tofu halves until they are golden brown and crispy. Mmmh!
Tofu-Gyros

1
For the gyros look: Cut the omami chickpea tofu into slices and then crosswise. Cut the onions into thin rings.

2
Fry both in oil for 5 minutes until golden brown. Add the chopped garlic and thyme leaves and cook for a further 5 minutes.

3
Then deglaze the gyros with soy sauce and boil the sauce down a little. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
