How To Make Tofu Tuna

Most vegan tuna recipes use chickpeas, but I discovered that shredded tofu is one of the best substitutes to get a vegan tuna lookalike! Plus I always have tofu in my fridge.

Like most “tuna”, the flavour is best when it sits in the fridge for a few hours, or minimum of 30 mins, for flavours to absorb, but it is also delicious when enjoyed right away. Tofu gives this recipe the best tuna texture and appearance and the chosen seasonings make it taste so much like the real thing!
