    Simple Recipe; BIG Flavors!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Chances are you’ve seen Vietnamese lemongrass tofu (Đậu Hũ Sả) on the menu at your local Vietnamese restaurant. This dish tosses crispy tofu pieces with stir-fried lemongrass, chiles, shallots, sometimes red bell peppers, and a soy sauce-based sauce. I love its unique, complex, and vibrant flavors so much that I decided to recreate my own version at home! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    My Vegan Lemongrass Tofu<\/strong> is similar to the restaurant version but I used a higher sauce-to-tofu ratio because I can’t get enough of saucy tofu recipes. I combined pan-seared tofu triangles with sautéed lemongrass, shallots, and Thai chile peppers before dousing them all in a simple sweet and savory sauce. The result? Meaty tofu pieces infused with mouthwatering South Asian flavors with plenty of sauce to go around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can serve lemongrass tofu as a show-stopping protein for dinner, but the saucy tofu pieces are also fantastic rolled in spring rolls, topped on a grain bowl, or stuffed in a banh mi. Or, keep things simple and top the tofu on a bowl of cooked rice with an extra slathering of sauce to indulge in those incredible lemongrass flavors.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
