Last week I shared my recipe for Tofu Lemon Cake with Pistachio Lemon Glaze and thoughts on baking with Nasoya Silken Tofu. Today I’m sharing how super easy it is to add tofu to any of your week day meals with Nasoya TofuBaked and bringing you another great recipe!
As fall quickly approaches and cooler weather sets in, I find myself craving hearty comfort foods. One of my all-time favorite comfort foods is a great heaping bowl of Mac n’ Cheese. I generally add in a few pieces of chopped grilled chicken for a protein boost and to make it a filling meal. It was only recently that I realized that Nasoya’s TofuBaked would be a perfect substitute for the chicken, delivering all the added benefits of tofu – naturally gluten-free, low calorie, great source of protein, iron, and calcium and no cholesterol!
If you’ve never worked with or cooked tofu, Nasoya’s TofuBaked is the perfect product for you to start with. It’s already baked and seasoned, so all you have to do is add it to your recipe, salad, stirfry or even simply enjoy it on its own! TofuBaked comes in three delicious flavors:
- Nasoya TofuBaked Organic Sesame Ginger
- Nasoya TofuBaked Organic Teriyaki
- and the new Nasoya TofuBaked Organic Chipotle

I would use the Nasoya TofuBaked Organic Sesame Ginger and even though they are already baked, I’d batter dip tofu fingers then roll in coconut and make a sesame honey ginger dipping sauce.
I’d like to try the Sesame Ginger tofu, and I’d add it to stir fry!
I am most interested in trying the chipotle variety.
