Homemade Tofurkey Loaf by http://www.vegcooking.com
Category: Main Dishes - Other
This recipe is suitable for a: vegetarian/vegan diet.
Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
2 1-lb. blocks firm tofu
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp. toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. dry sherry
3 Tbsp. water
1/4 tsp. pepper
Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
Freeze the tofu for at least one day then thaw it and squeeze out the excess water. This changes the consistency of the tofu, making it chewier and more porous. Place the two blocks of tofu next to each other in an oiled loaf pan, making sure that they are as close together as possible. Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, sherry, water, and pepper to create a marinade. Pour 2/3 of this marinade over the tofu, cover the dish, and place it in the refrigerator overnight. Cover the remaining marinade and refrigerate it. Remove the tofu from the refrigerator and pour the remaining marinade over the top. Bake at 350°F for 90 minutes, basting every half hour and flipping after 45 minutes. (When flipping the tofu, use caution so that it does not break apart.) Cool the tofu to room temperature or place in the freezer until cool, at which point it will have a firm, meaty consistency. Use it in sandwiches, as a main dish with gravy, or come up with your own serving ideas.
