This cozy Tofu Paprikash features golden seared tofu simmered in a smoky, creamy paprika sauce served over tender noodles. A comforting Hungarian-inspired vegetarian dish that’s hearty and deeply flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (plant-based or regular)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 oz egg noodles or pasta, cooked

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. Add cubed tofu and cook until golden on all sides, about 8–10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add remaining oil, then onions. Sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
  4. Add garlic and red bell pepper. Cook another 3–4 minutes.
  5. Stir in paprika and tomato paste. Mix well to coat the veggies.
  6. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Return tofu to pan and simmer for 10–12 minutes to meld flavors.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth.
  9. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over noodles and garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Press tofu thoroughly to absorb more flavor.
  • Use authentic Hungarian paprika for best results.
  • Stir in sour cream off heat to avoid curdling.
