Maple Sesame Tofu

I usually reach for the tofu when I'm really craving something meaty. It's not so much the taste of meat that I miss, but more the hankering to ingest something packed full or protein. This is a great recipe for making sweet and gingery tofu, and can be enjoyed in a stir-fry, on a vegan BLT, or even on its own. And if anyone tells you that tofu is disgusting whilst you're eating it, be sure to ask your gang of rescued farm animals to teach them a lesson.
