Lemon Pepper Marinade

It is so easy to turn simple tofu (or tempeh, seitan, or even veggies) into something bursting with flavor with a sauce such as “Lemon Pepper Marinade”, page 576. A few simple but powerful ingredients go a long way to transform everyday food into something quite special. The flavor stars in this marinade include lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, garlic pepper, coriander and cayenne. To avoid using the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, I substituted 2 tablespoons of water and added 1/8 teaspoon of guar gum for thickening. I used this to marinate diced tofu, which I later cooked in my air fryer, resulting in crispy and oil free chunks of tofu. Healthy, and delicious!

Keeping it “McDougall Friendly” check list:
  • Use water instead of olive oil, plus 1/8 teaspoon of guar gum to thicken the marinade
