Cajun Spiced Tofu Bowl

Made this today and it was very yummy! I used Mahi Mahi instead of tofu, because we're not yet vegan and I'm using up my freezer! I also added some mangos to the salad and jerk seasoning to the fish and then it became more Caribbean... but my son and i LOVED it! Can't wait to add this to our rotation.

Interested in trying different proteins as I am not a fan of tofu. Maybe some Seiten pieces or even just more beans!!

Would it be a big deal to use plain unsweetened yogurt instead of coconut?

PUL Team - March 13, 2025, 3:32 p.m.

Hey Lindsay! Yes a different plain and unsweetened yogurt can work as a substitute, though it might slightly change the flavour. Coconut yogurt adds a subtle sweetness and creaminess, while other types tend to be tangier in our experience. A little extra maple syrup could help balance it out 🫶

An absolute hit with everyone, including tofu skeptics. So fresh, filling and perfectly spiced.

Is there a good sub for the tomatoes and avocado? There's severe allergies to both 😭

PUL Team - Sept. 16, 2024, 7:59 p.m.

Hi there, Arial, for sure! You can replace the avocado with sliced cucumber or steamed broccoli for a fresh texture, and swap the tomatoes with roasted red peppers for some ideas 🫶

Pretty tasty. It was my first time trying tofu. Coconut yogurt goes well with the lime. Easy to cook. My rating: 8/10

There are lots of Pick Up Limes recipes my family loves. This one fell a little flat for us, like something was missing from it. Oh well, can't love every single recipe.

Delicious!

Some difficulty with the seasoning sliding off in the pan, but generally tasty

WOW!! This was absolutely stellar. I'll be struggling to NOT have this for lunch every day for the next month 😁.

So glad you enjoyed it, Reid! 🙌

Delicious!!

Tasty 💪

It’s a bowl of goodness and confort. I’s fast and easy to make and your cajun seasoning mix is amazing. This is a recipe that I will repeat. Thank you for all those great recipes and this beautiful app

Thank you for the glowing review and kind words, Nicole!

Loved it! The store bought Cajun powder had a lot of salt in it so the fried tofu turned out to be very salty but the yogurt balanced it out. Next time I will limit the use of cajun powder.

Such a tasty bowl of goodness! I made this for our tea tonight and couldn't get enough! Super simple and really delicious! Everything can be found easily in the supermarket, which is always a bonus! I feel this would be a good meal after a workout with the beans and tofu too.

Do you press the tofu

PUL Team - Dec. 4, 2023, 4:20 a.m.

Hey Kate, yes indeed, we pressed it - thanks for asking, we've now updated the ingredient list to specify this. Thanks for helping us improve what we do! 😃

Delicious, especially the lime crema.

hi, thanks for the recipe. It appears on the images that there is yellow bell pepper, but I could not find it in the written recipe. Just wanted to let you know!

PUL Team - Oct. 22, 2023, 12:52 a.m.

Hey Can, thanks so much for catching this and letting us know! Our apologies for any confusion. We've just added bell pepper to the recipe and double-checked everything is there now 😊

I followed instructions on frying tofu but I couldn’t achieve the “golden” part, spices just burn and 3/4 of spices stay in the pan, or is it suppose to be like that?

PUL Team - Oct. 17, 2023, 11:48 p.m.

Hey there, Anna, thanks for sharing your experience with the tofu bowl. We've updated the recipe to remove the 'golden' part, it's mostly just the goal to cook the tofu a bit. If the spices are in the pan for too long over high heat they can burn. To avoid this, you can try lowering the heat to medium or medium-low next time. Losing a bit of spice in the pan is normal 😊

Excellent!

This recipe was pretty easy to make. Not only that, but the sauce was deeelicious.

Favourite recipe so far

It was super delicious!

Made this for the first time tonight and was extremely happy with the results! Amazing effort to results ratio and so happy with the final meal!

Whoop whoop! Thank you, Samantha, it means a lot 🤗

The flavor combinations works perfectly. It’s fresh, crunchy and the Cajun spice puts it a step above similar dishes.

Another Pick Up Limes success and soon to be staple in our kitchen! I let the tofu press for a couple hours before cooking and that added some extra crunch. This is a great blend of flavors + it’s awesome to have a new, delicuoys seasoning in the kitchen (cajun) 😊 Highly recommend!

Oh you're too kind, Jamie! We're so happy the Cajun Spiced Tofu Bowl was enjoy 😃

Made for dinner. Sooo delicious!

Made this for dinner! The whole fam is soooooooooooo in love with it!

So good! Can never go wrong with the rice, beans, corn, lime & avo combo but the Cajun tofu was especially delicious!

Amazing ! Love anything Cajun tbh

It’s a lot of yogurt sauce compared to what you need, but the recipe is great!

Fantastic recipe! Cajun spiced tofu has definitely become a new favourite!! 🙌

awesome easy nourishing recipe🥑

Yummy, even my 4 year old liked it .

Didn’t care for the flavors. Not to my family’s taste.

Absolutely yummy! Loved the flavours and the coconut yogurt was an added bonus. Shall be adding this to my faves list, definitely!

This was fantastic and very flavourful! The yogurt sauce was a great addition and added creaminess and spice to the bowl! The whole family enjoyed it, and I’ll definitely be making this recipe again!

It means so much, Jan, thank you!

Incredibly delicious. The children were also thrilled. Great mix of spice and acidity. A real treat. Also perfect as a wrap filling with some extra salad. 🍅🥬❤️
