TOFU SLOPPY JOES



Tofu Sloppy Joes image

My veggie version of an American favorite made with tofu. My boyfriend who recently turned vegetarian loved them and said the sauce was even better than store-bought. Hope you enjoy these tofu Sloppy Joes as much as we did! This recipe yields a lot of Sloppy Joe mix and is even better the next day. I serve these with a side of fresh corn on the cob and a salad.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
chili powder
2 -3 garlic cloves, crushed
ketchup
mustard
oil
diced onion (optional)
diced green pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Crumble the tofu to small bits (this can take a bit of time).
  • Heat oil in frying pan and add tofu and chili powder (added to taste, I add tons, about 4-5 tbsp).
  • Cook on medium high heat until tofu is crispy.
  • Add garlic and onion and cook 5-7 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, a dab of ketchup (the more you add the sweeter it will be so omit it if you don't like sweet) and a dab of mustard and a drizzle of extra oil if you like.
  • Let simmer, bubbling until sauce is thickened and tofu is tasty (about 30 minutes).
  • I like to give it a lot of time to simmer so it's really tasty.
  • Serve on whole wheat buns with salad and homemade fries.
  • Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 ounce) package extra firm tofu
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 ½ cups ketchup
2 tablespoons white sugar
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
salt to taste
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted

Steps:

  • Place the block of tofu onto a plate, then place another plate on top. Set a 3 to 5 pound weight on top (a container filled with water works well). Press the tofu for 20 to 30 minutes, the drain off and discard the accumulated liquid.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Cut the block of tofu down the middle, then widthwise into 1/4 inch thick squares. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes, the turn the pieces over, and continue baking 5 minutes more. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and allow to cool. Once the tofu is cool enough to handle, cut into 1/4 inch dice.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and green pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the diced tofu, ketchup, sugar, mustard, and vinegar; season to taste with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve on the whole wheat hamburger buns.
