tofu poke(non-fried version)

Spicy Tofu Poke

Hawaii's classic dish done vegan! The “Poke”, as become a very popular dish world wide.

Half a block of extra firm tofu 
1 small round onion
1 Tablespoon sliced green onions

Batch Poke Sauce(updated):

1/4 cup gochujang paste
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated ginger
2 tablepoons mirin
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar or agave syrup

1. Make the batch poke sauce first so the sugar will have time to dissolve unless using agave syrup or similar. Mix all poke sauce ingredients with a whisk and store in fridge to cool. 
   
   
2. Cut tofu into bite size cubes. Thinly slice the onion and soak in water for about 5 minutes taking the “bite” out of onions making it sweeter, then drain water.
   
   
3. In a mixing bowl, add the tofu cubes, onions and drizzle over the poke sauce to your liking and add another ½ teaspoon of sesame oil, mix well. Plate tofu poke and top it with green onions.

*Tip: Tofu Poke Bowl: Get a bowl of hot rice, top it with the spicy tofu poke mix and drizzle on some vegan sriracha mayo and sliced nori. Now that's a lean mean high in protein meal.
