Drain tofu. With clean hands or a fork, roughly crumble the tofu in a medium mixing bowl. Aim for pieces about 1\/4 \u2013 1\/2 inch in size.<\/p>\n<p>2. Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, and cumin and carefully toss to evenly coat the tofu with the spices. Add the tamari, vinegar, maple syrup, and ketchup and toss one more time.<\/p>\n<p>3. Heat a 10-inch nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp (15 ml) avocado oil and place half of your tofu mixture into the skillet (amounts as original recipe is written \/\/ adjust if altering batch size). Distribute the tofu mixture evenly over the pan so it\u2019s in one thin layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, undisturbed. It should be sizzling and popping slightly \u2014 if it\u2019s not, turn up the heat a bit.<\/p>\n<p>4. Once the tofu is nicely browned on the bottom, use a spatula to flip sections as evenly as possible to brown the other side for another 3 minutes. Break up the tofu mixture slightly and toss to evenly brown all sides \u2014 about 2 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>5. Place in a dish, set aside, and repeat with remaining oil and tofu mixture.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>6. Best when fresh. Perfect for adding to bowls, burritos, tacos, or vegan paella. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. If you prefer sausage \u201cpatties\u201d you can scoop the tofu before cooking and press into 2-inch rounds and freeze to cook later.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Adjustments &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Marinate just the same, but for 30 min to 1 hour to get all the flavors in the tofu. If I use 1 block of super firm tofu (which is a bit more than 14 oz), I add a 1\/2 tbsp more soy sauce and oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead of pan frying, I do 18-25 min on parchment lined baking sheet at 425F until sizzily sounding and crispy tasting, stirring once at least at 15ish min.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one is another great recipe from Nikki!
