Heiwa Tofu

09/07/2026

Good food starts with people who care— whether that’s about the land and agriculture, the quality, the ingredients, the perfect recipe, or creating an amazing food experience.

We’re lucky to be surrounded by so many people who are passionate about food: the farmers, makers, cooks, shop owners, chefs, and small businesses who make our local food scene what it is.

For us, making tofu has always been about more than tofu. It’s about being part of something bigger. We’re proud to be part of a community that cares, from making good food to working with other local businesses and supporting the people who are building something right here in New England.

There’s a lot to be said for knowing the people behind your food and choosing to support the businesses around you.

We’re grateful to be part of it ✨

A good stir-fry doesn’t need much- just a hot wok, good ingredients, and a little attention to timing. We love this as a go-to meal because it’s quick, easy, delicious, healthy, and you can easily customize it with your choice of veggies!

Start with Heiwa Tofu that’s been broken into roughly 1” pieces, and 2-3 of your favorite vegetables, chopped roughly the same size. We started with garlic and ginger and then added broccoli, snow peas and carrots. Other great additions could be peppers, bok-choy, zucchini, eggplant, bean sprouts and others!

Set your wok to medium-high heat, add a little cooking oil, toss everything together for 3-4 minutes with a simple stir fry sauce. Serve over warm white rice. 🍚

A few stir fry tips:

-Get your wok nice and hot before adding anything. A hot wok makes a big difference!

-Don’t overcrowd it- give your tofu and veggies room to sear, or they could steam and become too soft.

 -Add ingredients in batches, starting with the ones that take the longest to cook.

-Keep everything moving once it hits the wok for that perfect mix of crisp edges and tender veggies.

-For a sauce we combined 1 Tbsp soy sauce with 2 Tsp. Maple syrup (or 1 tsp sugar), but you can use a store bought sauce, soy sauce as is, or even just a good sprinkle of salt.

-Have everything prepared ahead of time and within arms reach of your cooking space!

Enjoy! We’d love to hear your opinion: What are you favorite veggies to add to a tofu stir-fry?

A big bowl of fresh, crunchy, colorful goodness. 🌮

This Tofu Taco Salad starts with crumbled tofu tossed with chile powder and paprika, then roasted until lightly browned. From there, it’s piled on top of a bed of crisp lettuce, along with red peppers, green onions, radishes, black beans, guacamole, and a side of crunchy tortilla chips. We also topped it with a chili lime crema, but you can also top with lime juice, olive oil, salt, and a little bit of your favorite hot sauce if you prefer!

Simple ingredients, lots of texture, and just the right amount of spice. Basically, everything we love about a taco piled into a bowl.

To make the tofu, crumble one block of Heiwa Tofu into a bowl using a fork or potato masher. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons of paprika, 1 tsp of chili powder, and 1 tsp. of salt. Roast on a baking sheet with parchment at 400F for 18-20 minutes, until browned. The smaller bits will turn slightly crispy.

To make the salad, pile all of your favorite taco toppings on top of a bed of greens (we used green and red leaf lettuce): radishes, peppers, onions, tomatoes, guacamole or avocado, lime juice, cilantro, black beans, and (of course) your seasoned tofu. Add tortilla chips crumbled on top or on the side, and a bit of hot sauce if you like it spicy!

Need a fresh dinner idea? This Maple Sriracha Tofu is crispy, saucy, and packed with flavor. Served over fluffy white rice with steamed broccoli (or your choice of steamed veggies!) and fresh scallions this dish is a perfect easy weeknight meal if you don’t mind a little spice. Save this one for your next tofu night! 🔥

Here’s how to make it:

1. Cut 1 block of Heiwa Tofu into approximately 1” cubes and set in a bowl. Mix with 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch and 2 tsp garlic powder until evenly coated.
2. Heat a skillet or pan to medium-high heat and add a little cooking oil- enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
3. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu all at once. Allow the tofu to cook about 3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then use a spatula to flip and cook every minute or so until golden brown on all/most sides. This should take about 5-6 minutes total.
4. While the tofu cooks make the maple sriracha sauce: In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil until evenly combined. (If you prefer less spicy you can use 1 tbsp of sriracha instead of 2)
5. Once the tofu is lightly browned, pour the sauce into the pan and cook another 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken and coats the tofu. Stir every minute or so so that it is evenly coated and doesn’t burn. Then remove from the heat.
6. Serve over hot rice, with your favorite steamed vegetables and garnish with fresh scallion or sesame seeds.

BANG BANG TOFU 💥🌶️

Crispy, golden tofu tossed in a creamy, spicy-sweet bang bang sauce = the kind of tofu you’ll want to eat straight off the pan. Perfect over rice, tucked into a bowl, or piled into lettuce wraps. Be sure to save this recipe for your next tofu night!

Here’s how to make it:

1. Break up one block of Heiwa Tofu into 1-1 1/2” pieces. It’s okay if they are slightly different shapes and sizes- just don’t make them too big.
2. Set all pieces of tofu in a bowl and season with 2 Tsp. Garlic powder, 1 Tsp. Paprika, 1 Tsp cornstarch, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sriracha, and 1/2 Tsp salt. Mix well until the tofu is evenly coated.
3. In a separate bowl, prepare the bang bang sauce: combine 1 cup of sweet chili sauce (homemade or store bought), with 2/3 cups of mayo/vegan mayo, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, and 1 tsp minced garlic. Whisk until everything comes together smoothly. Set aside.
4. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add a little bit of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add the tofu and allow it to cook about 3 minutes until it starts to brown. Use a spatula or large spoon to flip and mix the tofu so that it cooks evenly on all sides. Cook for about 6-7 minutes total. The tofu should be lightly browned and crispy.
5. When the tofu is done cooking, set it to medium-low heat. Spoon 1/4 cup of sauce into the pan with the tofu and allow it to cook another minute or so, mixing consistently.
6. Once the tofu is evenly coated and has had a minute to cook with the sauce, remove from the heat.
7. Serve the tofu over white rice, with an extra drizzle of sauce. Top with scallions or sesame seeds.
8. Pair with sautéed snap peas, steamed broccoli, or fresh cucumber slices.

Here’s a simple staple recipe for your fridge!

This Tofu “Egg” Salad comes together with just a few everyday ingredients and is an easy way to turn a block of Heiwa Tofu into a satisfying lunch. It’s creamy, savory, and perfect tucked into a sandwich, scooped onto toast, or piled onto a bed of greens.

Here’s how to make it:

1. Cut 1 block of Heiwa tofu into small cubes, about 1/2” in size. Place the cubes into a bowl, and use a fork to partially mash the cubes so that there is roughly an even amount of crumbled tofu and cubes. It doesn’t have to be perfect!

2. Add 1/3 cup mayo or vegan mayo, 1 tsp mustard, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 Tsp. Diced white or green onion, 1/4 tsp. Turmeric, and 1 Tbsp of nutritional yeast to the tofu. Mix well until everything is evenly coated and combined.

That’s all! Serve a couple generous spoonfuls of it on a slice of bread with a handful of greens, in a pita with your favorite veggies (butter lettuce and sliced tomato is delicious!), or on top of a salad. Add a little sriracha if you like some spice!

A little summer sandwich magic from our friends at Clover Food Lab Clover 🌱🥪

For the remainder of August, Heiwa Tofu is making an appearance in one of Clover’s seasonal creations: a sandwich that puts thinly sliced raw zucchini in the starring role, along with glazed Heiwa Tofu, sweet corn, shiso, and basil mayo. YUM!

We love the way Clover brings together creative combinations using seasonal, locally sourced produce, and this one is a perfect example!

Find it at Clover Food Lab locations throughout Boston & Cambridge for August only! If you’re in the area, go get it while the zucchini is having it’s moment!
