Use this recipe as a template to make any variety of sous vide tofu. All you need is a package of firm tofu and a sauce of your choosing. Try barbeque, hoisin, teriyaki, or curry sauce – the sky’s the limit! Cooking tofu sous vide with sauce means the tofu gets to marinate and cook at the same time, resulting in highly flavorful tofu. If desired, broil or sauté the tofu after sous viding to further concentrate its flavor. Serve your tofu over rice, tucked into sandwiches, or in a stir fry. Want to make your own barbecue sauce?
