From the author: This Sweet & Salty Tofu Bites recipe is super fast, really tasty, and only costs a couple of bucks for the tofu. It’s great finger food, snack, salad topper, or a quick meal if you want to serve it with a side of veggies.

There’s some oil involved in this recipe, so be thoughtful of that, and make sure to remove the triangles from the oil and onto a paper towel to soak up any excess.

Tofu Shapes

This topic seems to be one up for debate. There are many different ways to cut your tofu and whichever shape you go for will have an impact on the end result. This Sweet & Salty Tofu Bites recipe calls for triangle shaped cut tofu and it is perfect for it. You could also cut it into strips if you prefer but the thinner triangle shapes will soak up the flavors even more.

Other tofu-based recipes will call for cubes or crumbles (like our ultimate favorite tofu scramble!). It all depends on the preparation and we encourage you to try them all because as long as you add amazing flavors, your tofu will be delicious no matter what shape or form.

This recipe goes perfectly with our rainbow veggie bowl!
