This easy vegan tofu ham is so delicious. Only 6 ingredients and about 25 minutes is all it takes to make something spectacular!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 ounces soy free fava bean tofu firm tofu *see note
- 1 ½ tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons ketchup
- 3 tablespoons grade-A maple syrup
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Turn the tofu on it's side and cut into 4 rectangles. They should be the same size as the original block, just thinner pieces.
- Use a sharp knife to make a crosshatch pattern on the top and the bottom of the each tofu rectangles.
- Add the oil into a pan. Place the tofu in a pan and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes per side, allowing each side to get crispy and golden.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl mix all the remaining ingredients together to make a glaze.
- Once all sides of the tofu are golden use a silicone brush to brush on the maple glaze on one side of the tofu, making sure to get the sides as well. Continue to let the tofu cook. Repeat brushing the tofu with the glaze, flipping it and letting it cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do this 2 to 3 times per side.
- The tofu should be golden, saucy, and caramelized. Add onto a plate and drizzle rest of the glaze. Enjoy.
Notes
- Nutrition facts are based on my gram measurements put into Cronometer. Yours may vary, they are to help you get an idea.
- For this recipe I used soy free fava bean tofu. However, you can use regular super form tofu or extra firm tofu for this recipe. If you use extra firm tofu I would say to press it prior to doing this recipe.
- For the serving size of this tofu I wrote 4 servings so it would be one piece each (approx 4 ounces). However, if you are hungrier or depending on your appetite I may say this recipe makes 2 servings.
