Wasabi Mint Maple Glazed Tofu

Wasabi Lemongrass Maple Glazed Tofu is one of those quick dishes you can let marinade before, return from work and simply rustle up for a comfortable meal. I add cardamoms to give this dish an extra layer of flavour.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.

  • 1 lemongrass
  • ¾ tsp wasabi powder
  • 4tbs lemon juice
  • 4tbs maple syrup
  • Few sprigs of mint
  • Oil for frying
  • Garnishing

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade by deseeding the cardamoms. Put the cardamoms and lemongrass and whizz to fine consistency – do not worry about having shards of lemongrass filaments, it just adds to the texture.
  2. Place the grounded cardamom lemongrass into a mixing bowl. Add the wasabi powder, lemon juice and maple syrup. Chop some mint and add to the marinade.
  3. Placed the cubed tofu into a low shall dish and drizzle the marinade. Cover and leave overnight and the following morning turn over the tofu.
  4. When ready to serve, place some oil into a frying pan and sauté the tofu each side for no more than two to three minutes, until the tofu turns a nice golden colour.
  5. Garnish the tofu with sesame seeds and serve with the remaining marinade not absorbed.
