With cucumbers, tomatoes, browned tofu and a punchy dressing, this recipe’s combination of hot, cold, juicy and snappy makes for a refreshing lunch or light dinner Inspired by Chinese smashed cucumber salads, many of which include dried chiles or chile oil, this recipe’s piquant and spicy dressing uses chile crisp as well as lemon juice, raw garlic and soy sauce The only cooking that’s required is searing the tofu, which helps it drink up more of the dressing

Ranging from silken and creamy to firm and chewy, tofu comes in many forms and is prized around the world for its versatility In this recipe, which is adapted from the “Superiority Burger Cookbook” (W.W Norton & Company, 2018) by chef Brooks Headley, extra-firm tofu is pressed, marinated, breaded and fried, to make the “tofu-fried tofu” sandwich at Superiority Burger, his popular vegetarian restaurant in New York City

This is the easiest SOY-FREE high protein, low carb tofu recipe because you only need ONE ingredient! No coagulant necessary. More info and printable recipe link below. Did you guess the ONE ingredient? It's pumpkin seeds! Pumpkin seed tofu is the most luxurious tofu with not only lots of plant-based protein but also healthy plant-based FAT! A very rare combo in the vegan protein world. Keep watching to see how I made it using the traditional method of making tofu (less one step), what the texture and taste is like, how I like to cook it, how to buy the least expensive pumpkin seeds, and what to do if even the easiest tofu to make is too much work for you. Even though this soy-free DIY version of "pumfu" is my favourite tofu, there IS a catch...would you make it anyway? While you tell me that in the comments, what else would you like me to tofu-ify?
