    This casserole is sweet and salty at the same time. The cubes of tofu are first lightly fried in oil, then simmered in a very fragrant sauce. The casserole is easy to make, and it’s absolutely delicious—test it and you will see! The result is a tender and tasty tofu.

    Many people don’t know how to cook tofu. Because of this, many see it as a bland food and are reluctant to cook it. In reality, tofu lends itself very well to many dishes. Because of is unique texture, it absorbs sauces and marinades perfectly.

    This casserole is absolutely delicious paired with a slice of Quick Three-Grain Brown Bread. Finish off your meal with a tasty Sweet Potato Brownie or No-Bake Vegan Lemon Bars.

    How to Make Tofu Casserole

    1. Cook diced onion over medium high heat.
    2. Add cut tofu to the saucepan, and cook until lightly browned.
    3. Add the zucchini, thyme, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and vegetable broth. Simmer, covered, for 8 minutes.
    4. Mix in cornstarch and soy cream. Stir until the sauce thickens a little.
    5. Add the lemon juice.
    6. Serve over noodles or rice.
