They’re even better with warm pieces of golden-crisped tofu, so make sure to get your pan hot enough when browning the tofu. Cook, relax and enjoy!

Chimichurri is an Argentine garlicky herb sauce often served over grilled meat. We love it so much we had to drizzle it over tofu. Truth is, we kind of like it better that way—the bright and slightly spicy flavors shine alongside a charred tofu. And tender vegetables complete this light summer meal. Cook, relax, and enjoy!

We think this dish is as fun to eat as it is to say! Furikake is a Japanese seasoning condiment that packs loads of sweet, salty, and briny flavor. It’s usually sprinkled over rice, but we love how it transforms tofu into something super special. Cook, relax, and enjoy!

While traditionally cooked with ground pork or chicken, our rendition of this Sichuan dish does not miss meat one bit.

Cook, relax, and enjoy!
