Crunchy Coconut Tamari Tofu

Tamari!

Oh, the wonderful saltiness, the rich taste, the complex flavours- what’s not to love? The possibilities are endless with this delicious condiment, which is why we were super excited to learn about Hippie Snacks Tamari & Cracked Pepper Coconut Chips. We decided to pair them with tofu and a delectable marinade to create this easy-to-make, high-protein dish that is loaded with flavour. The tofu can then be enjoyed on its own, added to salads or stirfrys, or used in a host of other ways. Let your imagination decide what you do with it!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ready in 3 hours 15 minutes (includes marinating time)

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

1 bag Hippie Snacks Tamari & Cracked Pepper Coconut Chips

1 package firm tofu

2 Tbsp white or black sesame seeds

2 Tbsp wheat flour

1 egg, beaten

2 cloves minced garlic

1 tsp freshly grated ginger

2 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce

2 tsp sesame oil

1 Tbsp rice vinegar

2 tsp sriracha (or more if you like spice!)

1 Tbsp canola oil

2 green onions for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Wrap tofu in a paper towel, sandwich between two plates and place a weight on top (cans work nicely) to remove the liquid. Leave for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Meanwhile, prepare the marinade. Mix sriracha, tamari, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger and garlic in a bowl.

After 30 minutes, remove the tofu from the refrigerator and dice into 1/3 inch pieces.

 

Combine with the marinade and chill for 2 hours.

Lightly oil a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Crumble or chop the coconut chips into small pieces and combine with the sesame seeds.

 

Dip each piece of tofu into the egg wash, flour, then roll in the coconut chip mixture. Place on the baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Garnish baked tofu with green onions, serve, and enjoy!
