Servings: 5 servings
Calories: 148kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon white miso or mellow miso, or chickpea miso
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or dried thyme, or Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- Salt or salt substitute to taste
- 16 ounces super firm tofu or pressed extra-firm tofu, small dice (cubed)
Instructions
- Whisk the miso into the water until fully dissolved.
- Combine the dissolved miso in water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, dried oregano, and nutritional yeast in a medium storage container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Add one-half of the tofu cubes and mix well. Reserve the remaining cubes in a separate airtight container.
- Marinate for at least two hours or overnight. Add the remaining tofu cubes as you use up the others.
Notes
Cut the tofu into tiny cubes so it soaks up more marinade.
If using extra-firm tofu, press the block for at least 30 minutes beforehand.
Add only half at a time so the cubes have more space to soak up the marinade. Add the rest as you use up the first batch.
