Ask a question about this stepGlad to help my vegan sisters. There's a brand of smoked tofu I've bought in the stores here, but pretty much any baked tofu can be substituted.
This sounds fabulous.
Thanks! It's humble and sorta hippie, but tasty (and doesn't leave you feeling awful about eating the whole bowl).
This is from your friendly editors at Food52.
So glad to see a vegan recipe! Thanks for posting this. Sorry if this is dumb question, but where do you get smoked Tofu?
