Creamy Wasabi Dressing
- 1 tablespoon wasabi powder mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water or 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
- 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger puree
- 2 ounces extra firm tofu, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon sugar in the raw or other preferred sugar
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

Turmeric Tamagoyaki Tofu
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 10 ounces drained and pressed extra firm tofu, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1. In a medium bowl, whisk the soy sauce, maple syrup, turmeric, and black pepper until well combined.
- 2. Toss the tofu with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- 3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the tofu from the marinade and place it evenly on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Roast the tofu for 18 to 20 minutes or until crisp and golden. Flip once halfway through.
- 4. Remove from oven and cool completely. Cover and keep in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Chef Tips:
- To easily make vegetable matchsticks, slice them thinly and then slice the slices crosswise into strips. Alternatively, you can use a handheld mandoline with a shredding attachment.
- You can make a large batch of turmeric tofu and use it in sandwiches, sushi, or on top of salads for a high-protein plant-based option! Use it within 3 days.
