Crispy Fried Tofu

An article by Laurence    1 Comment

We haven’t had a chance to post new recipes last weeks. Anyhow, this recipe is a winner with kids. And so simple! I like serving them with a variety of dipping sauces. Such as chipotle ketchup, tahini sauce, vegan dijonnaise, or even plain. It also works well as a protein topping for any salad, rice bowl or sandwich

What you’ll need

1 block of firm Tofu, pressed
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups unbleached white flour
4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
3 Tbsp yellow mustard powder
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp baking powder

How to make it

In a large bowl, mix together the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, flour, nutritional yeast and pepper. In a separate bowl, dilute the mustard with the water. Stir in 1/3 cup of the flour mixture.

Combine the baking powder with the remaining flour mixture.

Dip chunks of tofu into the mustard batter, then drop into the flour mixture to coat with the desired amount of crust.

Fry until crispy and golden brown

Enjoy with your favorite side and dipping sauce. I like mine with chipotle ketchup.
