Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams extra-firm tofu
- 200 grams oyster mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 2 small green chili peppers
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 spring onions
Instructions
Press the tofu for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Crumble it into small pieces resembling ground meat.
Slice the oyster mushrooms into small, thin pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, coconut vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the crumbled tofu and sliced mushrooms to the marinade, stirring well to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes for better flavor absorption.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated tofu and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10-12 minutes until the tofu is golden brown and the mushrooms are tender.
Remove the tofu mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the chopped red onion and finely chopped green chili peppers until the onion is translucent and the peppers are slightly softened.
Reduce the heat to low, return the tofu mixture to the skillet, and stir in the vegan mayonnaise and liquid smoke. Mix thoroughly for another 2-3 minutes.
Once well combined, remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve hot with steamed rice or enjoy as a savory appetizer.
