Tofu is a blank slate when it comes to flavor, but the texture is full and rich. This recipe features flavor-packed ingredients like tahini, ginger, garlic and turmeric for a tasty and texture-perfect dip. Break out the cabbage chips!
Note: Tahini always has oil floating on top. You'll add a tablespoon of the oil, and then dip down into the jar to scoop out the peanut buttery goo at the bottom.
