Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu about 14 ounces or 400 grams
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons smoked or sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces using a fork or simply by hand.
- Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the tofu over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until it starts to golden brown.
- Add all the remaining ingredients, stir until well combined, and cook over medium-high heat for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Marinating Time: For even more flavor, consider marinating the tofu for 30-60 minutes before cooking. This allows the tofu to absorb the flavors deeply.
- Customize Texture: Adjust the soyrizo's texture by varying the tofu's crumbliness. Crumble it finely for a smoother texture, or leave larger chunks for a chunkier consistency.
- Use a Non-Stick Pan: Opt for a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to prevent the soyrizo from sticking during cooking.
- Gentle Stirring: Use a gentle stirring motion to avoid breaking the soyrizo into tiny pieces. This helps maintain its texture and prevents it from becoming mushy.
- Prep in Advance: Prepare in advance by making the spice mixture ahead of time and storing it. When you're ready to cook, just toss the tofu with the pre-made spices for a quick meal.
