INGREDIENT IDEAS

What can I make with tofu?

Turn tofu into a useful dinner with simple combinations, flexible meal formats and the ingredients you already have around it.

Good ingredients to pair with tofu

You do not need an exact recipe to get started. Pick one or two ingredients that complement tofu, then choose a cooking style that suits your time and the meal you want.

Easy tofu meal ideas

  • crispy tofu rice bowl — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
  • tofu noodle stir-fry — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
  • tofu and broccoli pan dinner — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
  • sticky tofu wraps — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.

Turn a few ingredients into a coherent dinner

Choose a base, a flavour direction and one or two supporting ingredients. For example, rice or potatoes can make the meal filling, while lemon and garlic, tomato and herbs, soy and chilli, or curry spices can give the ingredients a clear direction.

Make the idea fit your evening

The same ingredient can produce a very different answer depending on whether you need dinner in 20 minutes, want one pan, are feeding four people or need to use another ingredient before it goes to waste. Add those constraints before choosing the final recipe.

Use SIZZIO to make it specific

Tell SIZZIO what you have, how many people you are feeding and what kind of meal you want. You can then save the recipe and move into the cooking flow instead of starting another search when it is time to cook.
