Spicy and Dicey: Tempeh Cubed Madras
How do you like your Tempeh? We like ours with the ZING of South Indian Madras and we know you will too. Now you may think tempeh is only for the hardcore but, as the kids would say, we are absolutely smashing these new flavours, so tempeh can be for everyone. Even the more apprehensive. It is no exaggeration when we say these are the yummiest things in the whole world (and maybe even the stratosphere).
We’re pretty sure it was the famous Indian mathematician Aryabhata who discovered the universal flavour equation: Tempeh x Taste x Spicy Marinade = Yummy Madras Cubed. Try yours in a curry, wrapped in a flatbread with mango chutney or tossed in a Bombay potato salad. Now I don’t like maths but that is one equation I can get on board with.
Get frying, sizzling, baking, tossing, turning and finally eating these tasty bites of spicey curry gloriousness. You will be doing the stratosphere a disservice if you don’t!
Make sure if you snap any pictures you tag us on any of our social medias, we love to see everyone’s scrumptious creations!
Diced and extra nice: Teriyaki Cubed!
Some might say laziness, we say efficiency. Not only have we marinated this flipping tasty Tofoo in tempting Teriyaki for a quick and hassle-free burst of flavour, it is also already cubed so there’s no need to chop, just chuck them in any dish and get chowing down. So, for the lazy *cough cough* efficient people out there- this is what we call perfection.
The literal translation of Teriyaki comes from two ancient Japanese words – Teri meaning ‘get this stuff in your mouth pronto’, and Yaki meaning ‘gosh, this is flipping gorgeous’. Try Teriyaki Tofoo in your stir fries, on skewers, in wraps, or simply served with rice. We pinkie swear these will become a staple in your speedy midweek meals and they’re available now from the Co-op!
Go on give it a shot- your taste buds will thank you! We challenge you to make the yummiest looking meals and tag us on Instagram @tofooco or on Facebook. We see every post and sometimes repost the ones that make our mouths extra water.
Tempeh Cubed Sweet Soy!
What’s that you say… another new product?! This time we have taken Tofu’s buff brother Tempeh and made it even tastier (and chopped it into little pieces…) in our new TEMPEH CUBED SWEET SOY.
Yes, we know these aren’t technically cubes. They’re rectangular prisms, cuboids or parallelepipeds. Or even 3D orthotopes. Did YOU know the real name for sweet soy is Ketjap Manis, ‘ketjap’ means soy sauce and ‘manis’ means sweet.
These perfectly imperfect little cubes go amazing in a stir fry, nasi goreng or just baked and thrown into a salad. But really, they are as versatile as all of our Tofoo products, be imaginative, spread your Tofoo wings and get creating!
Never tried Tempeh? Time to get your skates on! It’s like tofu that’s been hitting the gym, packed with whole pieces of soya beans to make it firmer and a wee bit chewier. Also, it is pretty high in protein at over 8g a serving, 25.2g if you eat the whole tray (which you might do since it’s so yummy).
If you were scared of Tempeh before now is the time to try as we have done all the heavy lifting and packing it full of tasty Sweet Soy flavour. Get yourself down to Waitrose on September 30th and fill your trolly! Give it a go and let us know what you think we are on Instagram (@tofooco) or write us an email to hello@tofoo.co.uk.

Our organic, handmade tofoo has had a little bath in a delicious Teriyaki marinade so it’s chock full of flavour. Just chop, cube, slice or dice and chuck it in the frying pan for a quick and easy meal. Your tastebuds will thank you!
The literal translation of Teriyaki comes from two ancient Japanese words –TERI meaning ‘get this stuff in your mouth pronto’, and YAKI meaning ‘gosh, this is flipping GORGEOUS’. Try Teriyaki Tofoo in your stir fries, on skewers, in wraps, or simply served with rice. And don’t get all silly with extra flavours – we’ve done it all for you.
We can think of a gazillion tasty ways to use it, but if you’re looking for a bit of extra inspiration check out these recipes and jump on the Teriyaki train.

Storage Instructions
We have had some queries from Tofoo lovers asking how to store their tofu products. So we thought we would share these Q&As with you:
How long does Tofoo Naked and Smoked tofu keep for unopened?
Tofoo should be kept refrigerated below 5°C, and you should check the use by on the side of pack of the tofu to see when it needs to be used by.
How long does Tofoo Naked and Smoked tofu keep for once opened?
Once opened place any remaining Tofoo in water in an airtight container and use within 48hrs.
Can I freeze Tofoo?
We advise that Tofoo is not suitable for freezing. That’s because freezing can change the taste and texture of our tofu.
Any of the questions, feel free to drop us a DM on twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
Thank you,
Team Tofoo

The second recipe is launching on our site Fri 29th Nov and is the perfect Friday fakeaway– so keep those eyes peeled, it’s not to be missed!
Time to say hello to School of Wok. Jeremy Pang and his amazing team have a flagship cookery school in London. School of Wok has three main goals: to eat great Asian food, to teach great Asian food and to laugh while doing so! Now there’s a mantra we can all get behind! Their fantastic bao bun kits are available to buy now, and you’ll find some Bao recipes on our tip cards in pack at the moment.
They are also running a Saturday Kitchen series – which combines Tofoo in unreal Asian dishes. Again – keep those peepers peeled as we will be sharing updates on our social media.

From Bean to Block
Here at The Tofoo Co HQ we take great care and attention with every block of Tofoo we make. That’s because we believe in THE BEST – the BEST beans, the BEST recipe, the BEST ingredients, the BEST tofu. And we think this makes us BETTER than all the rest.
We scrutinise every aspect of making Tofoo from the origin and quality of the MIGHTY soya bean through to every other step along the way. Each block of our Tofoo starts with great soya beans. And we thought it would be a rather good idea to share our story of how we go about making Tofoo and what makes us so special.
We’ve created the Bean to Block story, so you can read all about how seriously we take our sustainability. Head over to https://tofoo.co.uk/bean-to-block/ now to read in full.
