Ingredients

• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 120 grams Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and gently pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into cubes and add it to a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add the tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and water to the blender with the tofu.

Step 4

Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Step 5

Taste the tofu ketchup and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add a touch more maple syrup for additional sweetness or more apple cider vinegar for extra tanginess.

Step 6

Transfer the tofu ketchup to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. It can be served immediately if desired, but chilling enhances the taste.

Step 7

Serve the tofu ketchup as a dip for fries, a spread for sandwiches and burgers, or use it as a base for marinades and sauces.

Step 8

Store leftover tofu ketchup in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
