Anja…. Thank you for this incredibly versatile recipe!!

Do you think you could form this into a sausage shape and then slice it??
I haven’t tried… I think it would crumble apart.

Where can I get liquid smoke from as I haven’t yet seen it in the supermarket or anything Thanks for your answer Anja. Looking forward to trying this recipe .
Ebay, amazon or specialty online stores.
Greetibgs from the UK. It’s brilliant to have you back….. BIG thanks for the recipes, I am going to try this recipe out. I am not a huge fan of tofu but I’m hoping with all the additions it will transform. it.

This was so delicious, I used it as a taco filling on some warm corn tortillas topped with cilantro… this will go into my regular rotation! Also one of the fastest dinners I’ve ever cooked!
Fantastic! Glad you like it as much as I do 🙂
Do you need any oil in the pan or is the liquid from the tofu sufficient to cook it all in?
I don’t use oil in my cooking.
