Vegan Tofu Steak
1 serving
20 minutes
Vegan tofu steak is a bold interpretation of the classic steak, embodied in a plant-based version. Its history emerged from the trend of mindful eating, where soy products took a prestigious place. Tender tofu covered with a crispy golden crust is complemented by an aromatic coconut milk-based curry sauce, creating an amazing combination of spiciness and creamy softness. A garnish of fresh daikon and carrots refreshes the dish, adding crunch and lightness. This steak is perfect for lovers of Eastern cuisine and those seeking healthy eating without compromising on flavor. It is recommended to serve it immediately after cooking, garnished with fresh cilantro – this way the taste unfolds most fully and richly.
