Best Tofu for Tofu Steaks

Tofu is widely available these days. It comes in a broad range of textures and styles, from super-delicate, creamy, pudding-like versions which needs to be handled with extreme care.

To make tofu steaks, you need to use a firm tofu that is hard enough to be handled like steak.

It must be able to be sliced and pan fried.
It is sold labelled either as “firm tofu” or “hard tofu”.

Tofu Steak Serving Suggestions

Serve the tofu on top of a bed of steamed rice and drizzle the extra sauce on top.
This savoury breakfast rice goes very well with this tofu steak.
It’s wonderful served alongside baby potatoes and vegetables.
It would also be wonderful alongside vegan mashed potatoes or vegan scalloped potatoes or baked potato fries.
It’s also divine served with a side of Chinese cabbage stir fry.
