May 14, 2024

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill
  • 500g of natural tofu
  • 1 tablespoon beetroot juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 3 nori seaweed
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 drops liquid smoke (optional)

Marinade:

  • 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Side:

  • rice
  • Plant-based yogurt (e.g. soy yogurt)
  • Some limes
  • dill

        Procedure

        • Place the tofu in a bowl and mix with the beetroot juice, cornstarch, light soy sauce and chopped fresh dill.
        • Cut the nori into strips about 8 cm wide and spread the marinated tofu in a relatively thin layer on the nori strips. Leave a little free part at the edge, as the nori contracts slightly during frying. Cut away the marbling with a knife as in the video.
        • Heat the oil in a pan, place the tofu salmon in the pan with the nori seaweed facing down, fry over medium heat for 3 minutes, then turn and repeat the process on the other side.
        • Mix all the marinade ingredients such as olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup and Dijon mustard in a bowl. Now spread the marinade on both sides of the salmon pieces with a brush and brown them again briefly on both sides.
        • Remove the marinated salmon pieces from the pan, arrange them on a plate, serve with rice, soy yogurt and lime, garnish with dill and enjoy.
