Tofu As A Fantastic Source of Protein

As you know, we love tofu recipe. We are always looking for fun ways to cook our tofu. Whether its Crispy Air Fryer Tofu, Balsamic Tofu and Mushrooms or Tofu Scramble Burritos, we got you covered.
We have even talked about the benefits of tofu and simple ways to cook tofu!
How to Make Curry Tofu
We used our EZ Tofu Press to press the tofu before frying it up. We fried the tofu to a beautiful golden brown.
Next up, we need to make our sauce!
I used curry paste for this recipe instead of curry powder. You can adjust the amount per your tastebuds. The amount is this recipe is pretty tame!
Ingredients
In the recipe we used:
- onion
- carrots
- fresh ginger
- broccoli
I diced the onions and carrots up small and cut the broccoli into small florets.
This meal cooks up pretty quick, the sauce does not take long at all to make!
The longest part is probably frying up the onions and carrots until they are soft! The sauce is quite beautiful!
The addition of fresh basil on top of the sauce not only brightens the dish but elevates the flavor profile of this dish! I LOVE using fresh herbs when cooking!
I bet you are starting to get hungry now! I know that I am!

If you’ve spent some time following our little blog and our social media channels, you know that our household loves our EZ Tofu Press!
You’ve seen mine in action a lot on our Facebook and Instagram channels!
Every time I talk about the EZ Tofu Press, I share that it is something I didn’t know that I needed. Now that I have one, I will never be without!
This device gets so much liquid from my tofu which allows it to cook up better!

Yum! This looks delicious. My favorite tofu recipe is just pan-fried tofu with seasonings, served with a side of kimchi. Tofu scramble is my second.

I had one of these ez tofu presses way back a couple years ago, but it broke pretty easily and I found it was easier just to use a couple pots to hold down the tofu.I wouldnt mind trying it again to see if it works better now, we eat a lot of tofu!
Cindy Gordon says
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. I hope that you contacted the company! They have such great customer service and ours has been holding on strong for years now. But there are always situations that happen. I am sorry that happened to you! I usually give one away monthly on my instagram feed! I hope you follow along, they did improve their design a couple of years back!
