Smoky Maple Tofu

Vegan Smoky Maple Tofu Sandwich

Just 3 ingredients are used to flavour the cuts of tofu in this fresh and healthy vegan Smoky Maple Tofu Sandwich.

• Liquid Smoke:

This vegan flavour staple gives an earthy smoky taste to your tofu. Liquid smoke is a natural product. It’s created by condensing smoke from burning wood. Then, the liquid is distilled into a concentrate. Next it’s filtered of its impurities (soot and ash). What remains is liquid that smells like a wood burning fire, with notes of hickory, mesquite, and pecan.

A little drop goes a long way with liquid smoke! So this recipe uses just a teaspoon to get that warm toasty taste. Be sure use a vegan Liquid Smoke in your plant-based recipes!

•Maple Syrup

While comparable in calories and carbs, maple syrup has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar. It’s also always vegan! So a touch of maple syrup is ideal for adding a sweetness to your tofu.

•Soy Sauce

Soy sauce gives a strong aromatic umami and savoury flavour. It balances out the sweetness of maple syrup in this tofu recipe. Since soy sauce is salty, there is no added salt in this tofu marinade.

Sprouts & Fresh Veggies

Alfalfa sprouts, sliced cucumbers and tomato give that California vibe to this healthy sandwich.

There’s just something so fresh and crisp about alfalfa sprouts. They give a layer of brightness with a mild, nutty, and subtly sweet flavour with fresh green nuances. Alfalfa sprouts Sprouts are also a nutrient-dense vegetable. One cup of alfalfa sprouts has a mere 8 calories and contains vitamin K, vitamin C, fibre, folate, copper and manganese.

Adding to the crisp taste of the sprouts, cucumbers give a cool crunch to your California inspired sandwich. Plus, all that water in cucumbers can help keep you hydrated! A few slices of ripe fresh tomatoes and a helping of dairy-free mayonnaise such as Vegenaise makes this sandwich an absolute delight!
