    The easiest Tofu poke ever! It’s like traditional Hawaiian Poke but made with tofu for an easy vegan vegetarian meal.

    Tofu poke is one of my go-to meals when I’m too lazy to cook, and it’s my go-to recipe whenever there’s church potluck.

    I’ve tried making this recipe using only tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, onions, and salt, but adding the sesame seeds, green onions, and sriracha mayo gives it that Hawaiian flavor.

    Keep in mind, there are so many variations of tofu poke, but here’s my version of it.  🙂

    Tips on Making Tofu Poke:

    • You can add sliced veggies if you enjoy a bit more texture in every bite!
    • Tofu Poke is best marinated overnight.
    • You can squeeze a quarter slice of lemon for a delicious tangy taste.
    • If you love crispy tofu, you can fry the tofu before slicing it into cubes.
    • Slice some avocados and mix with the tofu cubes for additional protein.
    • Drizzle a bit of maple syrup for a slightly sweet taste in your tofu poke.
    • Mix in some edamame beans for a more interesting texture in your tofu poke bowl.
