Tofu steaks in sweet soy sauce

Making tasty tofu steaks is surprisingly easy and quick with this recipe. In just 20 minutes you can prepare and cook enough for two to three people.

One tip I strongly recommend is to put your tofu in the freezer over night before making these and then defrost it when you’re ready to follow this recipe. It will greatly improve the texture and generally make the whole dish better. Be aware though, the tofu will turn yellow during freezing. This has no negative effect on the taste and does not indicate spoilage.

Time: 20 minutes

Serves: 2-3 people (If cooking for one, you can freeze for later eating)

You’ll need:

  • 500 grams of firm tofu
  • 50 grams of flour
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper
  • 100grams of butter

Tofu sliced into steak shapes

Hopefully you’ve followed the tip above about freezing your tofu before hand to give it a nice texture.

Slice your tofu into steak size pieces. Personally I find they work quite well at about 6 inches long, 3.5 inches wide and about an inch thick.
Dip each slice into the mix

Next you should mix your flour, salt and pepper in a bowl and dip each slice into the mix so its well covered on all sides.
Fry each steak until golden brown

Now add a little bit of oil to a frying pan and fry each steak on low, turning as required until golden brown on both sides.

The final step is to make the sweet soy sauce which will cover our steaks.

For this you should add your soy sauce and sugar to a cup and stir thoroughly. Next, add the butter to the frying pan and as soon as it melts add the soy sauce mix.

Move the pan around so everything mixes well and when it starts to become a little more solid, remove it from the heat and pour it over your steaks.

Serve with rice and enjoy!
