Corned beef tofu


 A nice tasty different way to have tofu. I did not add the optional beet juice (or food coloring).  The full recipe and details can be found here https://thehiddenveggies.com/vegan-corned-beef/

Ingredients 

 2  of the 14 ounce extra firm tofu (me- did one)

5 cups water

1 teaspoon pickling spice

1 teaspoon mustard seeds ( me -used 1 teaspoon ground mustard seed)

1 teaspoon coriander seed (me -ground)

1 bay leaf

1 teaspoon brown sugar

Salt I added right before cooking , but recipe calls for 1 tablespoon.

Directions 

Go to above link— basically you boil the seasonings in the water for about 10 minutes. Then add your quarter inch slices of tofu to the water and simmer 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit in the water another 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375F. Place the tofu on well greased sheet and  if you didn’t use salt in the brine then add at this time— bake about an hour until crispy.

For one block of tofu it made about 7 slices
