Crushed pistachios elevate this crispy baked tofu to gourmet heights. Serve it with fruit-based Sweet and Sour Sauce, recipe included.
After looking for them for months, I finally managed to find a 1-pound bag of shelled, unroasted pistachios at the Indian grocery. Of course, after all that time I’d forgotten what it was I planned to do with them, so they’ve been languishing in my fridge for a couple of weeks, tempting me to open the bag and just start snacking.
Eventually they’ll find their way into pilafs and pesto, but in this recipe they add a little pizazz to breaded tofu. I dipped the tofu into a sweet and spicy mustard-based sauce before dredging it in pistachio-spiked breadcrumbs.
The tofu was tasty on its own, but I decided to carry the sweet and spicy theme one step further and add my daughter’s favorite sauce, an easy version of the “duck sauce” found in Chinese restaurants. With so many competing flavors, it sounds like a mess, but somehow it works: crunchy yet tender, sweet yet sour, nutty yet…? Well, you get the idea. It’s a symphony in your mouth!
One note: Although the photo shows the sauce in a dipping bowl, I found that it’s better just to pour the sauce over the tofu; otherwise the breading falls off, and you get a dipping bowl full of soggy crumbs.
Pistachio Crusted Tofu
Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm or extra firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 1/2 slices whole wheat bread
- 1/2 cup pistachio nuts
- ground pepper — to taste
- 2 tablespoons spicy prepared mustard
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon vegan mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F; prepare a baking sheet by either oiling it lightly or lining it with a silicone liner.
- Cut the tofu into 8 1/2-inch slices and dry them lightly with paper towels. Brush both sides of the tofu with the 2 tablespoons soy sauce and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- While the tofu is marinating, place the bread into the food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Measure out 1 cup of crumbs into a wide, shallow bowl. (Save any remaining crumbs for another use.) Pulse the pistachios in the processor until they are reduced to fine crumbs. Add them to the bread crumbs along with a generous grating of black pepper, and mix well.
- In another shallow bowl, combine the mustard, syrup, soy sauce, and mayo.
- Dip a slice of tofu into the mustard mixture, lightly coating all sides; then place it into the bread crumbs, sprinkle crumbs over the top and sides, and lightly press them into the tofu. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all slices of tofu.
- Put the tofu into the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until bread crumbs are golden brown. Serve with the sauce of your choice, such as the Easy Sweet and Sour Sauce below.
Nutritional info is approximate.
Try it with this simple sauce:

why do you have advertising on your blog that promotes meat entrees/cooking? Is everyone for sale? Seems awefully counter-productive to the purpose of your website. I look @ your blog for inspiration, a safe haven from animal recipes and it kind of boggles my mind…..you go on an on about being invited to do the McDougall thing and in btwn your text is an add for chicken and brocoli alfredo…..

Thank you for pointing out the problem ad. I haven’t seen it, but I’ve asked the ad company to remove it, if it exists. No, not everyone is for sale. Some of us are completely up front about everything, use our real names, and don’t create an alias just to lodge attacks and complaints. If there’s a problem with an ad, I don’t know about it until someone tells me, preferably in a polite way.
It also worries me to hear that I’ve been “going on and on” about the McDougall weekend since I’ve only mentioned it twice on the internet. You must have been eavesdropping on my real life conversations where, I’m afraid, I probably have been going on and on about it!

Susan,
These sound absolutely perfect. Can’t wait to try them!! The pistachio/sweet/sour combo is amazing.
PS RE: ads–I actually never look at them, so didn’t notice until I read the comments above that there’s one for Campbells’ Beef Taco Skillet on the right side of the blog. I think most of your readers realize that you state your preferences, but don’t have 100% control over what the ad networks post, so I wouldn’t sweat it. Your readers are also well aware of your own dietary preferences (ie vegan) and philosophy. (Oh, and I only noticed ONE mention of your McDougall guest appearance on the blog. I for one would love to hear MORE!)
Love your blog, love your recipes (ads or no ads).

I clicked on the comments section to tell you that your pistachio tofu looks absolutely divine, but I now also want to say that you really are very polite/kind. That first comment was very rude. If someone has such a big problem with your blog, then they don’t need to read it. They aren’t being forced to do so, and have no business to make rude comments. Your response was extremely polite, which is commendable because I know I would not have been able to produce the same kind of response. Happy Monday!

The pistachio tofu looks wonderful. A whole bag of pistachios in my house would be a dangerous thing, I’m afraid. Sounds like you have some good ideas for yours. And thanks for the sweet & sour/duck sauce recipe, I LOVE duck sauce and never thought to make my own even though I know what’s in it. I even have apricot jam in the fridge!

Susan, this looks absolutely delicious, and I admire you for the way you responded to “Hamish22″‘s comment. I’ve never seen ads that go against the principles of veganism on this blog and I remember you saying that you actually asked to arrange it this way.
I live in the UK, so I’m not familiar peach preserves or All-Fruit spread. Would peach jam/jelly do?
I’ll definitely try making this!

Thanks, everyone. Blogher has been really good about keeping the meat ads off; I assume that they didn’t realize that soup ads would be so “meaty.”
Dominique, preserves are like jam with more whole fruit in it, so feel free to use either jam, jelly, or any fruit spread.

re ads: your response to hamish22s comment was very diplomatic indeed!i have also noticed some strange/inappropriate ads on your blog (recently one for a shooting/war video game), but i always found them kind of humorous in their silliness. everyone knows that you arent interested in that kind of stuff and chances are that th people reading your blog arent either- so its kind of a waste of an ad- id rather an ad for hamburgers be on fatfreevegan where it wont do any harm!

SusanV said…
Lane, agave nectar will work fine for anyone who doesn’t like maple syrup.
Kathy, thanks for your perspective. I truly don’t understand vegans who choose to chastise other vegans for their choices; they make us all look judgmental. We take enough criticism from omnivores without heaping it on each other.
Bella, yours is the most original view of ads I’ve ever heard! I hadn’t thought about them that way, but you’re right–I’m pretty sure that for a variety of reasons (not all of them vegan) recipes made with Campbells soup wouldn’t find much of an audience here. (Not that I want them–or the war games ads–on this blog. I wish I could preview all of the ads before they appear so that I could veto the objectionable ones.)

It was delicious, and just what I needed after a day in the hospital waiting room!!! I bought my pistachios pre-shelled at Trader Joe’s and it was much easier than shelling them all, now I just need to find a use for the leftover pistachios…

My wife is allergic to nuts, so we experimented with this recipe, substituting Matzah Meal for the nuts and Honey for the Maple Syrup (because we didn’t have any). I don’t know how it compares to the original recipe but it was very very tasty and was promptly added to our list of favourites.

My internet was down when I wanted to try this technique, so I had to do it from memory. I the followed the technique of marinating the tofu, coating it w/ a thick sauce, then dredging it in breadcrumbs, but used completely different ingredients. It was amazing! It tasted like vegan chicken nuggets, but healthier and softer. Such a simple, creative recipe, Susan.

November 8, 2009 at 5:50 pmI made this delicious recipe when you first published it, and I've been thinking about doing it again. I've read over the comments and have a hint that might help other pistachio addicts in their efforts not to eat all the nuts at once. I was able to find shelled pistachios (even more dangerous than in-the-shell) but I just keep them double bagged in the freezer, under stuff. This may not work for everyone, but so far I've managed to retain my pistachio supply for more than a year. And of course the freezer keeps 'em fresher. Thanks, Susan, for your wonderful blog.

June 8, 2010 at 6:49 pmWow- amazing tofu! Usually I only have amazing tofu when I eat out, but I can’t believe how great this turned out for home-cooked tofu! Obviously I haven’t mastered tofu on my own just yet. I froze my tofu first, then let it thaw, to give it a meaty texture. I also used wasabi peas in place of the pistachios because I have a bunch of them on hand. I couldn’t taste any wasabi hotness in the final product though. This is going to be a regular in my house now. Thanks!

May 12, 2011 at 11:43 amI stumbled on your recipe while trolling the net looking for an easy and tasty way to fix tofu. I actually still eat meat (I married a carnivore), but I try to counteract that with vegetarian or vegan meals as often as I can. (While my husband was out of town) I made a variation this receipe using Almond meal in place of the wheat bread and pistachios. (I didn’t have any pistachios and I can’t have wheat.) I also used agave nectar in place of maple syrup and Bragg Liquid Aminos in place of the soy sauce. It turned out very yummy. I think my spouse will even like it. Thank you, Susan, for sharing this. I will definitely try this with pistachios and gluten free bread when I get my hands on some pistachios 🙂

June 8, 2015 at 9:32 amHi Susan,
My daughter has been craving this dish ever since I saw it on your sight. She is not a big fan of hot or spicy food. Does the Spicy mustard make it pretty hot or spicy? If yes, could I use regular mustard? I plan on making this tonight. Thanks in advance for your answer!
Susan Voisin
June 8, 2015 at 9:54 amI don’t find it makes it spicy, but if there’s any chance your daughter might, I would use regular mustard. I hope you all enjoy it!
BarbDon
September 13, 2015 at 6:55 pmYUM! I made this tonight, using tempeh. I’d braised the tempeh in water with tamari & cooled before proceeding to the sauce & breading. Dear Husband asked me to print the recipe so we’ll be sure to make it again. thank you Susan – your blog, your recipes are the best! Certainly, the ones I use most often.
Helen
May 21, 2017 at 7:22 pmThis looks great! Just a couple of questions, what type of tofu did you use? firm? and the mustard, is that a powder?
Enjoy your recipes. Helen
Susan Voisin
May 21, 2017 at 9:28 pmI use extra-firm but firm will also do. The mustard is the prepared kind, like used on sandwiches. I used a spicy kind.

October 14, 2019 at 11:26 amI made this yesterday and brought to a thanksgiving dinner. It was a hit! and went well with all of the sides and fixings.
I’ve made breaded tofu dishes before yet this one is my favorite! it’s quite simple to make and tastes delicious!
I found I had quite a bit of the breading and marinade so bought another package of tofu and will make again today.
Another fabulous recipe! Cheers!

June 1, 2020 at 7:00 amLooking forward to making this recipe. I have tried many of your recipes and they are always winners. More recently, I have become very cognizant of the sugar in my food and trying to reduce it. I notice that on your recipes you don’t normally publish the sugar grams in the nutrition section. Wondering if this is something you are thinking of doing in the future or if there is a reason why. Thanks so much for your blog!
