Tofu Tuna Recipes

TUNA TOFU PATTIES

Steps:

• First you must crumble the tofu. To do that, drain as much moisture as you can from the tofu. I do this by putting the tofu block in a colander. Put a plate on directly on top of the tofu. Then put a canned good (or cup filled with water) on top of that plate to weigh it down. Let sit for 15 minutes. Then you crumble the tofu (use your hands) into a bowl.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled tofu with the tuna, egg, panko, carrots, onions, green onions, and ginger.
• Mix everything until it's well combined. Then season the mixture with the soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil.
• Gently form into small 2-inch patties. Pan fry the patties on each side for 3-5 minutes. Serve hot, with a bowl of rice or as a side dish to a larger meal! Enjoy ^_^

"TOFU NOODLE" TUNA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Drain tofu noodles. Using a scissors, cut them into 1-2" pieces. Parboil for 2-3 minutes to remove the "Shirataki" aroma from the noodles.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Spray a small casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Mix the noodles, soup, tuna, peas, and seasonings together in the dish. Add breadcrumbs to top if using, and sprinkle with a bit more black pepper.
• Bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, until casserole is hot and bubbly.
• If you are adding cheese to the top, sprinkle it on about 20 minutes into baking.

VEGETARIAN/VEGAN MOCK 'TUNA' SALAD WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Place the tofu in a small bowl and then crumble or mash the tofu with a fork until it reaches the desired consistency. It should be mashed to roughly the same consistency as tuna, with a few small chunks and not completely smooth. Add the celery and onion to the bowl and gently stir to combine.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, lemon juice, and kelp. Gently add this mixture to the tofu and stir to combine.
• If you have enough time, place your vegetarian tuna salad substitute in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving so that you can serve it chilled. Give it all a gentle toss again just before serving to mix up any of the liquids which may have settled a bit.

TUNA BURGER WITH TOFU GINGER SESAME SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop the tuna into chunks, add them to a food processor, and pulse a few times to break up the pieces. In a bowl mix the soy sauce, oil, lime juice, cilantro, and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Pour over the tuna and process until well blended. Form into 4 patties and grill.
• For the sauce, cut the tofu into chunks and put them into a blender with the ginger, cilantro, chile, sesame oil, lime juice, soy sauce, water, and salt and pepper, to taste. Puree, taste, and adjust seasoning. Top the burgers with the sauce and garnish with the spicy sprouts.

EASY TOFU SALAD WITH TUNA AND WATERCRESS

• Layer the bean sprouts, tofu, tuna, watercress, tomatoes, and Japanese pickled radish in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside. Place the onion in a bowl.
• Heat the garlic in the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat until garlic is browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove garlic slices, then pour the hot oil over the onion. Stir in the soy sauce and pour dressing over the salad.
