Whiskey Week Continues
I am loving Whiskey Week, glad you all are too!
Jason and I were out at a holiday party last night, and there was a bar set up for whiskey tasting. How perfect is that - we tasted a few good ones, and I am going to hunt one down. I may have to extend Whiskey Week...
Sticky Whiskey Garlic Tofu
This recipe has been made before.
Actually, I have made this several times. The first couple? Too sticky sweet. Oops. The first batch had to be chiseled away from the pan, like I was making hard candy lollypops alongside the tofu. Reducing sugar, adding vinegar for some tangy zip, garlic because, well I love garlic, and we are in business.
I have made this many times since. It keeps well, it reheats well, it goes well over hummus-y mashed potatoes, a pile of veggie quinoa, or salad.
Because warm proteins over cool salads - one of my favorite things.
Two slabs of sticky whiskey garlic tofu served over veggie quinoa on a blue plate.
Cheers to the whiskey 'fu!

Sticky Whiskey Garlic Tofu
Sticky whiskey garlic tofu can be air fried or oven baked and served over veggies, quinoa, rice, or with a salad, sandwich or wrap.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup whiskey
- ¼ cup vegan sugar (coconut, maple)
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- sea salt and black pepper
- 1 block extra firm tofu, pressed
Instructions
- If using air fryer, line basket with a parchment round.
- If using oven, preheat to 350 °F. Line baking sheet with parchment.
- Once tofu is pressed, slice into half inch slabs - with a regular block of tofu, I cut into three segments on the short side, then slice each segment in half lengthwise.
- In saucepan, combine whiskey, sugar, garlic, onion powder and vinegar. Stirring continually, bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly.
- Coat all tofu slices, place on prepared baking sheet.
- Fry in air fryer for 7 minutes at 370. Turn / flip, cook another 3-4 minutes.
- Bake at 350 °F for 25 minutes, turning after 12 minutes.
- Serve over salad, Perfect Mashed Potatoes, or vegetable quinoa.
