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!

We have lots more tofu recipes! Visit the recipe index, or jump to Sweet Thai Chili Tofu Bowls, or Tofu Scramble Breakfast Burritos.

EZ Tofu Press

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!

We use the EZ Tofu Press.  The EZ Tofu Press has been the #1 selling Tofu Press on Amazon for the last 3 years!

So why do I love the EZ Tofu Press?  Check this out:

1) $19.99 cost (free shipping to Amazon Prime members) 
2) EZ Tofu Press can press virtually all sizes of firm and extra firm tofu. 
3) Improves flavor absorption and texture.
4) Pressing can be achieved in 15 minutes or less. Prep food and marinade while turning the knobs every 2 minutes over a 10-15 minute time frame
5) Presses substantially faster than spring based tofu presses.
6) Easy to clean- small, compact, dishwasher safe, and fewer parts to break.
7) Saves on paper or cloth towels!
8) Tofu bock centering marks on press plate for faster and even set up.
9) Stainless steel grommets on top press plate allows for smooth and even pressing.
I love the new tofu block centering plates on the press!

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.

Let’s get to the recipe!

  2. Whisk together balsamic, italian seasoning, garlic salt and onion granules.
  3. Marinate tofu planks in balsamic marinade for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  3. I’ve only really just started cooking with tofu myself, but have eaten many meals with it over the years. I especially like making Chinese Mabo Tofu Sauce Mild with my own tofu.

      • Luckily I’m going to the Japanese market this weekend – I think I gave my last box to my youngest daughter so I’ll have to buy a couple. If you follow the directions on the package, it calls for some ground beef, browned and drained, but you can leave that out or use a vegan substitute for that if you want. I look forward to seeing what recipes you share using tofu. I could really use this press. I did make one thing that had Japanese eggplant and baby bok choy plus tofu. It was amazing. I’ll check the supply of what I need for that this weekend, too.

  7. I’ve never tried Tofo. The last time I won a tofu press I gave it to a vegetarian friend. I have no fave recipe.
