’Chick’n’ (Tofu) Tenders and Fries
Ingredients
- 1-14oz packet extra-firm tofu
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- sriracha ketchup and fries
Preparation
Slice 1-14oz packet extra-firm tofu into approximately 1/2-to 3/4- inch thick rectangles
Freeze on baking sheet overnight
You can freeze as is in original packaging but it takes longer and I don’t find it as effective
Thaw at room temperature before gently pressing to remove excess liquid
Season with salt and pepper
Mix: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (or your favorite seasonings
Garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne, paprika), 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper
Cut tofu rectangles into 1/2-inch wide sticks
Roll tofu in flour mixture twice to get sufficient coating
Heat neutral oil to frying pan
Should be enough oil to reach half way up the sides of tofu sticks
Pan fry tofu in hot oil until crispy on each side
Served with sriracha ketchup and fries
