Ingredients
- 400g firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
Directions
-
Preparation: Start by draining the tofu and pressing out any excess water. To press the tofu, place it between two plates with a heavy object on top (like a can of beans) for about 10 minutes. This will help remove excess moisture and allow the tofu to absorb more flavor.
-
Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, cumin, and dried thyme. This will be your marinade for the tofu.
-
Cutting the tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into 4 equal-sized steaks. Make sure to cut them into sizes that are safe for your toddler to eat.
-
Marinading the tofu: Place the tofu steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each steak is coated evenly. Let the tofu marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
-
Cooking the tofu: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the tofu steaks in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve: Once the tofu steaks are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool slightly before serving. You can serve them with your toddler’s favorite veggies or rice.
Recommended Sides
- Steamed broccoli
- Quinoa
