Step 1: Press out your tofu. This gets all the excess water out and allows the sauce to be absorbed better for more flavor. You should press your tofu for at least 30 minutes, but you can do this up to 2 days in advance so it’s ready when you need it.

Step 2: Place the pressed tofu on a plate and then use the back of a fork to crumble it completely.

Step 3: Add all the ingredients for the sauce into a blender or a food processor. We like using our small blender since it’s easier to clean.

Step 4: Blend until smooth. Set aside.

Step 5: Saute your onions until softened in a medium skillet.

Step 6: Add your tofu crumbles and allow browning to develop over 8-10 minutes.

It helps when you allow this to sit for a few minutes at a time without stirring, but you need to be careful that it’s not burning or sticking to your skillet.
