~Adobo Tofu~
Ingredients:
1 block of extra firm tofu, pressed
• For marinade:
2 Tbs or 1 oz of adobo marinade base. I used Chef merito's "Adobo Carne al pastor" (there's recipes on how to make this at home online if you're up for a challenge just look up adobo chorzo sauce)
1/2 tsp of better than bouillon vegetable base
1 3/4 cups (i used my empty bouillon jar but its about a cup) of water
• For cooking:
~1 Tbs Corn starch for dusting, if you want
1 Tbs garlic olive oil (if you dont have this you could add a dash of garlic powder to your pan with regular oil, or omit it)
1 Tbs coconut oil (or canola / olive oil doesn't matter that much
Add a little more olive oil if this isn't enough I didn't actually measure anything lol
Instructions:
Press the tofu with your method of choice for at least 20 mins, this isn't strictly necessary but I find it makes the tofu much easter to cut into neat cubes later. It also soaks up more flavor from the marinade.
Chop tofu into 7 ~1/2 inch size slices across the block and place slightly separated into an airtight tupperware container or a small bowl that can be covered.
Add adobo paste to the bowl, or combine with the water and bouillon then pour over the tofu and add enough water so it's mostly covered.
Let sit in the fridge overnight or at least a couple hours.
Once it's done marinating, pour the marinade off or set it aside for cooking into rice (it's a great side for this!) and chop your slices into 8ths (makes about 56 little cubes, varies on how big your tofu block is)
Dust your chopped tofu with cornstarch, this helps them crisp up around the edges better.
Once your tofu is starched up to your liking, add the oil to your pan or Wok and put it on medium heat. Add tofu once the oil is hot and cook for 15 minutes turning every 1-3 minutes to get an even fry.

Tofu barbecue “ribs”
My MIL is an aspiring vegan so I’m always playing with new recipes to help her enjoy the food she loves without meat. This one I’m posting because it’s a mashup of several recipes, she loved it, and I don’t want to forget it.
Press a block of firm tofu (it’s probably better frozen/thawed but I didn’t have time). Then slice it in half the long way, and then into sticks about the size of a fish stick. Marinate in 2tbsp hoisin, 1tbsp soy sauce, 1tbsp ACV, 1tsp sugar, 1tsp ginger (halve if dried), 1/2 tsp garlic (measure with your heart), and black pepper. Let marinate at least an hour, or preferably as long as you want. This is great make-ahead meal prep.
When you’re ready to cook them, preheat the oven to 425. Roll each of the sticks in corn starch and put them on a baking sheet. Brush all sides with oil. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping as needed half way through. I put mine on a cooling rack so i didn’t need to flip.
While this is baking, make the sauce and the relish.
The relish is a cup of peanuts, coarsely chopped, like 3-4 finely sliced green onions, 1tbsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, 1tsp ginger (fresh or dried). Adjust the taste until you honestly consider eating just the relish for dinner.
When the ribs are crispy, brush in the sauce and cook until it starts to bubble. Remove, top with relish, and serve. One block of tofu feeds two hungry people with sides.
