Why do I need to press the smoked tofu for this goulash?

Pressing the smoked tofu for 1-4 hours helps remove excess water, allowing it to better absorb the rich flavors of the goulash and achieve a firmer texture.

What gives this goulash its distinctive flavor?

The rich flavor comes from a combination of smoked paprika, ground cumin, bay leaf, white wine, and the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and bell peppers.

What are the best serving suggestions for this Smoked Tofu Goulash?

This goulash is best served warm over cooked rice or other grains like barley or quinoa, garnished with a generous handful of fresh parsley.

Can I substitute the sweet potatoes or bell peppers in this goulash?

The recipe is designed with sweet potatoes and bell peppers for their specific texture and sweetness, which balance the smoked tofu and paprika. Substituting them would alter the dish's intended profile.

How should I store leftover Smoked Tofu Goulash?

Store any leftover goulash in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be gently reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.

How to Prepare Smoked Tofu Goulash [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Remove tofu from packaging. Press for 1-4 hours to drain any excess water.
When you are ready to start cooking, heat some olive oil in a large saucepan.
Add onion, garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook for a few minutes until onion are soft.
Cut pepper in 3/4-inch wide slices. Halve each slice by cutting it across its width. Cut sweet potatoes in a 3/4-inch dice. Cut pressed tofu into roughly the same size.
Add peppers and sweet potatoes to onion mixture. Stir in tomato paste.
Add chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, wine, and bay leaf.
Tip tofu in the saucepan. Stir gently to mix ingredients in without breaking up the tofu dice.
Bring to a boil then cook over medium heat for 20-30 minutes until sweet potatoes are soft (they should still have a bite).
Season to taste with lemon juice (1/4 to 1/2 lemon), salt, and pepper.
Add one to two generous handfuls of chopped parsley on top.
Serve with cooked rice or grains of your choice.
