Tofu is something of a pantry staple in our kitchen. We love how versatile it is, lending itself just as easily to a marinade as to a stir-fry or even baked dish. Not only is it easy to cook with, it’s also a blank canvas for highlighting the flavours of the sauce it is cooked in. Which essentially means we could eat tofu each day of the week – experimenting with a different preparation each time – and never tire of it. Seriously. Don’t believe me? Gathered here are the best tofu recipes to prove it, from Asian-inspired dishes (sweet, hot & sour tofu anyone?) to a brunch-appropriate vegan scramble and more!





Of course, when you get down to it, there’s no dearth of stir-fry sauces – from Sichuan and Sweet Chilli to Black Pepper – that can elevate humble tofu with a myriad of flavours as complex as they are intense.
Remember, if you want your stir-fried tofu to be extra-crispy, use extra-firm tofu and dust it with cornflour before pan-frying on each side until the tofu is evenly crisp and browned!
