The Best Vegan Gyro With Tofu

3.0

14 oz extra firm tofu (drained, pressed, & frozen)

5 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp better than bullion base (vegetable or garlic flavor)

2 tsp maple syrup

2 tbsp warm water

1 tsp liquid smoke

1 tsp cumin

½ tsp dried parsley

½ tsp dried oregano

½ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp paprika

¼ tsp black pepper

⅛ tsp cayenne pepper

Toppings

3-4 pita bread (or pita pockets)

1 small sliced red onion

1 finely chopped romaine heart

1 freshly sliced tomato

Tzatziki sauce (either store bought or homemade)

Feta cheese crumbles (optional)

Tsatsiki

1 cup thick yogurt

½ cucumber (grated, squeeze out liquid after grating)

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp freshly chopped dill (or 1 tsp dried)

½ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp salt

For the BEST tofu gyro meat, freeze your tofu after draining and pressing it. This helps create a 'meaty' texture and removes more liquid. Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Thaw the tofu by placing it in warm water. Squeeze out excess water after it's defrosted.
Slice the tofu into very thin strips.
In a medium shallow bowl, whisk together the gyro marinade ingredients.
Dip each tofu strip into the marinade, coating each side, then place on a large plate. Cover and let marinate for 1 hour in the fridge.
Heat a large NON-STICK pan over MEDIUM/HIGH heat. Add olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook the tofu strips for ~3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook the other side.
At the end of cooking, add 1 tbsp of water and cover the pan for 30 seconds to perfect the texture.
Assemble the vegan gyro with warm pita bread, tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion, vegan feta cheese, and the tofu gyro meat.
