Yummy Tofu Marinade

I am a terrible blogger! I've given up most food of late in favor of a soya latte misto at the Socialist Pig in Gananoque. After meeting (at the Pig, totally unexpectedly!) one who thus far has only been a facebook vegan friend, I am once again reaching for real food! Thanks, Christina!

Marinade:

1/2 C Bragg's liquid aminos

1/4 C extra virgin sesame oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 T maple syrup

1 T tomato paste

2 T peanut butter

2 t dry mustard powder

Mix all ingredients together and pour over pressed tofu. Marinate 1-2 hours, or longer if you have the time. You can bake, broil, grill or saute it, but I prefer it "raw" on a big salad. You can also toss it with cooked noodles a veggie using the leftover marinade as a sauce. . . YUM! I'm hungry and can't wait for it to marinate!
