HONEY SRIRACHA TOFU

Honey Sriracha Tofu is a sweet and spicy, super delicious appetizer and a perfect family-friendly recipe to make for dinner or any type of gathering.

I love tofu in any form and experiment with it a lot. For me, tofu dish without the aroma of basil is just incomplete. This recipe below is not only easy to make but also healthy and tasty. The spiciness of sriracha and the sweetness of the honey combined with aroma of sauteed ginger, garlic, and basil leaves makes this dish just amazing 🙂 There is no bland tofu here!

Non vegetarians can also try out this recipe with chicken. Vegetarians can substitute tofu with paneer / cottage cheese, cauliflower, potato, baby corn.
