hold their shape well during long simmering.<\/p>\n<p>Pinto beans bring a softer, creamier bite that blends beautifully into the sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Black beans, such as in this recipe, are another excellent choice because they add a slightly earthy flavor and a smooth, tender bite that compliments the spices wonderfully.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve even forgone the beans and made a <span

easy to find in most supermarkets. As with any chili, you can customize the ingredients by adding more veggies, spices or seasonings to your taste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tofu: <\/strong>Smoked tofu is a key ingredient in the flavor profile of this recipe. It can be found in well-stocked supermarkets in the refrigerated section.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beans: <\/strong>I have used black beans for this chili recipe. You can substitute kidney beans, white beans, pinto beans or your favorite bean!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spices: <\/strong>You will need the typical chili spices of chili powder, ground cumin and smoked paprika. I also like to add a bit of herbs in the form of dried oregano. Chili flakes add spice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tomato: <\/strong>Firstly, tomato paste which adds sweetness to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes as well as umami. Then, a can of diced tomatoes is added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stock: <\/strong>A good-quality vegetable broth for the soup base.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soy sauce: <\/strong>Soy sauce or tamari may seem weird but it adds an additional depth of flavor in addition to saltiness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aromatics: <\/strong>Onion and garlic are the beginning of every great chili recipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cocoa powder: <\/strong>A small amount of cocoa powder adds a deep, complex layer of flavor that gives the impression of a slow-simmered chili while keeping the recipe quick and easy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oil: <\/strong>A bit of neutral oil is needed for frying the tofu to golden brown as well as to fry off the onions. I used sunflower oil for the tofu and olive oil for the onions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" alt=\"A white pot with black beans and crumbled tofu inside.\" class=\"wp-image-5422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2-180x270.jpg 180w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2.jpg\" alt=\"A white pot with black beans and crumbled tofu inside.\" class=\"wp-image-5422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-2-180x270.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-make-tofu-chili\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make tofu chili<\/h2>\n<p>This easy vegan chili has complex and smoky flavors that make it taste like it\u2019s been simmering all day. But it takes less than 30 minutes!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prep: <\/strong>To prep the ingredients for this hearty vegan chili recipe, first drain your tofu.<\/p>\n<p>Smoked tofu usually has a firm or extra-firm texture and doesn\u2019t need to be pressed.<\/p>\n<p>Use your hands to crumble the tofu over a bowl into small, ground-beef-like pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic.<\/p>\n<p>Optional: drain and rinse the beans. You can add the liquid from the can to thicken the chili but if its salty or grosses you out, feel free to rinse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tofu: <\/strong>Heat a couple tablespoons of neutral oil in a wide non-stick pan over medium-high heat.<\/p>\n<p>Add the crumbled tofu and allow to fry on the first side for a couple of minutes until golden brown.<\/p>\n<p>Then give it a good stir and allow to fry on the other side.<\/p>\n<p>When the tofu has a nice color all over, remove it to a plate or bowl and set aside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fry: <\/strong>In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat on the stovetop.<\/p>\n<p>Add the onion and fry until soft and transparent, then add the garlic and fry for about another 30 seconds until fragrant.<\/p>\n<p>Add the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano and red chili flakes.<\/p>\n<p>Saut\u00e9 and stir constantly, for a minute or two until the tomato paste darkens in color and the spices are very fragrant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simmer: <\/strong>Add the beans, tofu crumbles, can of diced tomatoes, vegetable stock, cocoa powder, and soy sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Add as much vegetable stock as necessary to cover the ingredients. For mine it was about 2 cups.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the pot with its lid, lower the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.<\/p>\n<p>Check on your chili and adjust to consistency. If too much liquid has simmered off or you prefer your chili thinner, add another splash of vegetable stock as needed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" alt=\"Pouring vegetable stock into the pot with smoked tofu, black beans and diced tomatoes.\" class=\"wp-image-5423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1-180x270.jpg 180w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pouring vegetable stock into the pot with smoked tofu, black beans and diced tomatoes.\" class=\"wp-image-5423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/tofu-chili-picture-1-180x270.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"variations-and-substitutions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and substitutions\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tofu: <\/strong>This recipe specifically calls for smoked tofu because of the awesome flavor it imparts. However, if you\u2019ve looked everywhere and can\u2019t find it, you can substitute plain firm or extra-firm tofu. Don\u2019t use silken tofu. A non-tofu option that also has a meat-like texture is TVP, or textured vegetable protein. You can see how to use it in this <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thestingyvegan.com\/vegetarian-chili-recipe\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"1340\">vegetarian chili recipe<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beans: <\/strong>I use black beans but you can absolutely substitute kidney beans, pinto beans, white beans or your favorite bean!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Veggies: <\/strong>I often make chili with bell pepper. It\u2019s a great addition as is corn, sweet potato, butternut squash, mushrooms, carrots, etc. You can pretty much add any vegetable to chili. You can also substitute the red chili flakes for fresh peppers like jalape\u00f1o, Anaheim or poblano.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Garnish: <\/strong>Garnishing your chili is part of the fun.
