    Make your own versatile vegan protein

    Tofu knots are very popular in Asian cuisine, but difficult to obtain. This homemade version made with tofu and seitan powder has a meat-like texture and absorbs flavor perfectly. The trick lies in the long kneading of the dough and its subsequent cooking in vegetable broth. This creates the characteristic, firm texture. The finished knots can be used in a variety of ways: in soups, stir-fries, or with spicy sauces. The peanut sauce with sriracha and soy sauce presented here is just one of many possibilities. Once prepared, the tofu knots will keep for several days in the refrigerator and can be used again as needed. A real insider tip for anyone looking to expand their vegan cuisine.
