  8. Coat the tofu sticks thoroughly with the mixture.

  9. Cook the tofu by baking on a lined baking sheet at 400°F until golden brown, air frying at 400°F until golden brown, or pan frying in 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet until golden brown on each side for about 4-5 minutes.

  10. For the tartar sauce, mix 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise, 2 tsp pickled horseradish, 1/2 tsp lemon pepper, and 2 tsp fresh lemon juice.
