Deliciously spicy and packed with flavor, this No-Cook Spicy Tofu comes together quickly and requires zero cooking. For best flavor, allow the tofu mixture to marinate in the refrigerator for several hours (or, preferably, 12 to 24 hours) before serving. Serve cold from the fridge. It tastes great on its own or spooned on top of coconut rice! Naturally vegan and dairy free.

No-Cook Spicy Tofu

(14-ounce) block firm tofu, vacuum-packed

sambal oelek

soy sauce

lime juice

scallions (green parts only) (finely sliced)

unsalted dry roasted peanuts

ginger root

garlic (grated

cilantro leaves (finely chopped)

Combine the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Toss together gently until the tofu is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 2 hours (minimum) to 8 hours (ideal), or overnight for best flavor.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Love this no-cook marinade recipe. What substitute do you recommend for chili crisp? They have so many chemicals. I’ve skipped or added pepper flakes to increase the spice.

This is my go to for tofu. Very versatile! Goes so well on bowls with sweet potatoes or savory oatmeal.

We love this recipe!  We make it at least once a week.  It is a great refreshing summer recipe with a salad, and also works great as a complement for winter meals.

Oh, it's the BESTEST! Don't know why the whole world isn't making this😋

We love this recipe and fix it all the time!  It is one of our favorite go to recipes. It is easy to fix and the flavor is amazing. We marinate it overnight for the best flavor. Try it!

This is one of my favorite summer dishes!

Incredibly delicious! I didn’t know I loved cold tofu until I tried this. 

Hi, came across this while looking for Mala Xiang Guo firm tofu recipes and oh wow this looks amazing.

Delicious!  I doubled the lime and ginger and added a splash of black vinegar for fun and to stretch the marinade.  Ate with Japanese rice and a soft boiled egg.  Yum!

Wow! I’m learning to really enjoy tofu &amp; this recipe is a keeper!! Easy to make &amp; very very flavorful! I served it over cucumber “noodles”. 

This was great.  Now can we have a breakfast version, please?

Delicious! I added  cucumber chunks for some veg content and lunch was served!
