How to make soyrizo

• Chop the tofu and use a fork to crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
• Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the tofu over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
• Add all the remaining ingredients, stir until well combined, and cook over medium-high heat for another 5 to 10 minutes.
• Serve your soyrizo immediately.

Soyrizo ingredients and tips

• Firm tofu: firm or extra firm tofu work best for this soy chorizo recipe. Soft or silken tofu is not a good choice as it will fall apart easily.
• Extra virgin olive oil: I’m Spanish, so I use extra virgin olive oil to cook most of my dishes, including this soyrizo. However, any type of oil will work. I always use extra virgin oils when possible because they’re healthier. If you don’t eat oil, just use some vegetable stock or water instead.
• Soy sauce or tamari: you could also use coconut aminos.
• Paprika.
• Apple cider vinegar: feel free to use white vinegar or lemon juice instead.
• Garlic powder.
• Liquid smoke: if you can’t find it, you could also use smoke powder or smoked paprika instead of the regular paprika. Omit this ingredient if you don't like it.
• Salt: I used ionized salt, but any type of salt will do.
• Chili powder: this soy chorizo recipe calls for traditional American chili powder, not cayenne. Cayenne and international chili powders are usually incredibly spicy. So if you live outside of the United States, please keep that in mind. If you can only find cayenne, add it to taste until the sauce is okay for you, but not too spicy. Omit this ingredient if you’re not into spicy food.
