Equipment
You don’t need anything fancy just:
- Knife and cutting board
- Frying pan
- Spatula / wooden spoon
Storage
If you've got too much that's not a problem. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 - 3 days. You can reheat it in a pan or in the microwave for 2 - 3 minutes or until piping hot.
Unfortunately this recipe is not freezer-friendly - the texture just changes too much.
Top Tips
Press your tofu: This is key to getting a meaty texture.
Season well: Tofu is a blank canvas—don’t skimp on herbs and spices!
Add the vegan feta at the end: Stir it in gently so it stays creamy and doesn’t melt too much.
FAQ
Add black salt (or kala namak) if you want it to have a distinctly eggy taste.
Yes! Try crumbled tempeh or mashed chickpeas for a different texture and flavour.
It’s great on its own, or served with toast or wrapped in a tortilla.
Lots of supermarkets sell vegan feta now from own brands to 'Violife' and artisan cheese producers like 'I am Nut Ok'.
