Blackened Tofu With Succotash Food

CRISPY BLACKENED TOFU

Steps:

• Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Slice the tofu through the center so that you create two separate slabs. Then, cut each of those slabs in half to make 4 steaks. I cut them into triangles, but do as you prefer.
• Place the tofu in a dish with a flat bottom. Then, pour in the soy sauce and let the tofu marinate for at least 15 minutes.
• Add the blackened seasoning spice onto a plate or dish with a flat bottom. Press the tofu into the spices and rotate until all sides are covered fairly well.
• Cook in a hot nonstick skillet for 3-5 minutes per side. I love using cast iron for this recipe.

BLACKENED TOFU

Steps:

• Combine salt and seasonings in a small bowl and mix well.
• Brush each piece of tofu with melted butter and dredge each slice in spice mixture, patting it firmly into tofu.
• Pour a teaspoon of melted butter onto each slice of tofu; place tofu, butter side down, in a hot frying pan.
• Stand back and fry for 2 minutes; turn tofu over and fry for another 2 minutes.
• Keep fried tofu in a warm oven until they're all ready to serve.

VEGAN BLACKENED GRILLED TOFU

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Slice the pressed tofu block into 4 pieces of about 1-inch thickness each.
• Place soy sauce in a shallow dish and add the tofu. Marinate, covered and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes, turning once or twice to marinate evenly.
• Gather the blackening seasoning ingredients.
• In a small bowl, combine the paprika, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, and thyme. Mix well.
• Prepare a medium (350 F to 375 F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Oil the grill grates to create a nonstick surface. Remove the tofu from the soy marinade and dip each piece into the blackened seasoning spice mixture, making sure the tofu is generously coated on both sides.
• Grill the tofu until it has blackened on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total.
