Notes
Nutritional yeast:
Adding "nooch" to this tofu recipe gives it a delicious cheesy and nutty flavour. I believe nutritional yeast compliments any of the spice blends listed above. If you have it, I would highly recommend using it in this tofu recipe!
Tofu:
Extra firm tofu is required to get the best texture in this recipe. It can be purchased already pressed, or you can press it for 15 minutes before preparing.
Tip: Freeze and de-thaw your tofu when you purchase it. This improves the texture and gives it more of a "meaty" feel.
