Balsamic Tofu and Mushrooms
We are huge fans of tofu at our house. We love to play around and see the fun and simple creations that we can make with tofu.
This balsamic tofu and mushrooms dish was super easy to make and very tasty! The mushrooms add an earthy taste to the dish and the balsamic adds some delicious flavor!
Don’t be afraid of making roasted tofu! It’s actually a very forgiving gluten-free food item to work with. Plus, it takes on flavors of sauces and other foods really, really easily. Soy sauce and balsamic vinegar are just two of the sauces that tofu takes to really, really well.
And if you like to cook with oils, sesame oil and olive oil work well with tofu, too!
This tofu mushroom recipe is a great recipe to get started with! It’s super simple, delicious and tasty!
We have lots more tofu recipes! Visit the recipe index, or jump to Sweet Thai Chili Tofu Bowls, or Tofu Scramble Breakfast Burritos.
To make this dish we first pressed our tofu. Pressing your tofu is important, did you know that? I didn’t at first, but throughout the years I’ve come to realize the need for pressing your tofu!

Mushroom 101
Mushrooms are fungi! So they are in a space all their own, set apart from plants and animals. The body of a mushroom stores nutrients. Mushrooms are nutritious.
They are a good source of B vitamins. It is said that they rank the highest among vegetables when it comes to protein.
Can tofu be used in a number of different recipes with ease?
Yes, prepared tofu is so simple to use. As I stated earlier, pressing the tofu is one of the most important parts to do! After that, cooking with tofu is a total breeze!!
Does it take a long time to cook tofu?
Not at all. If you have 30 minutes, you’re good to go! You can cook it in a large skillet over medium heat or consider putting on a baking sheet and popping it in the oven.
There are so many recipes out there that will show you just how easy cooking with tofu can be!
Can you use different mushrooms with this Balsamic Tofu recipe?
Of course! You can use any type of mushrooms that you would like! I bet portobello mushrooms would be really, really good! (If you make it with a different mushroom make certain to come back and tell me how it is!)
Is your mouth watering yet? It should be! This recipe is a hit in our house every time we make it!
