Step 1
First slice your tofu as thin as you'd like. You can use a sharp knife, but I prefer a mandoline slicer!
Step 2
Then whip up the marinade by whisking all the ingredients. Optional but recommended, blend it up for a smoother marinade. Otherwise the seasonings may clump a bit while simmering, but it's honestly not a big deal either way!
Step 3
Next, add the marinade to a 12 or 10" skillet, along with the tofu slices. You can nestle the slices so they all fit under the marinade. It's okay if the top layer isn't 100% submerged.
Step 4
Bring to a simmer, then continue to simmer on medium low for 30 minutes or until the liquid is reduced. Make sure you don't boil the tofu as it may break it up into smaller pieces and ruin the texture.
Step 5
Once liquid is reduced, let it cool. You can enjoy right away or store for later. Then stack it on sandwiches and enjoy!
