Ingredients
  

  • 1 block (16 ounces/454g) super firm tofu
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) Better Than Bouillon, seasoned vegetable base
  • 3 sprigs rosemary
  • 5 sprigs thyme

Instructions
 

  • Use a vegetable peeler to thinly slice and peel the tofu. If you find some pieces are becoming uneven as you peel it you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice some of the tofu. If you are looking for a visual you can check out the youtube video.
  • Prepare the Better Than Bouillon by adding the 2 tablespoons into warm water into a large pan. Mix around until the BTB is mostly dissolved. The rest will dissolve when it is cooked.
  • Add in the tofu and seasonings.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium high heat, then reduce the temperature down to medium to keep the simmer going. Stirring occasionally to make sure all the pieces of tofu are in the broth. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the vegetable broth has been absorbed and cooked off.
  • Carefully remove the sprigs of rosemary and thyme. Allow the tofu to cool for 5 minutes before transferring into a container.
  • You can enjoy immediately or if you want to put it in the fridge allow it to continue to cool to room temperature and then place in the fridge.

Notes

  • You can use 1 ½ cups (360ml) 0f vegetable stock instead of the Better Than Bouillon and water mixed together.
  • This is a base recipe, it is delicious on its own but if you want to add in more flavors you can see the flavor variation note above.
