Crispy Vegan Tofu Nuggets
Ingredients
- 1 block (400g) firm tofu
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
- 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened plant milk
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 2 cups (60g) vegan cornflakes
Preparation
Press the tofu for 15 minutes or longer using a kitchen towel and something heavy to put on it.
Marinate the tofu for 1-2 hours in the liquid mixture.
Drain and dry the tofu, then cut into desired shapes.
Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and cornstarch on a small plate. On another small plate combine the plant milk with some hot sauce.
Break down the cornflakes into crumbs by placing in a food processor or in a zip-lock bag and hitting with a rolling pin. Then transfer the cornflake crumbs to a big plate.
Coat the tofu pieces first with the flour mix, then the milk and finally in the cornflakes.
Place the tofu nuggets on the baking tray and bake for 10 minutes, turning over after 10 minutes.
Serve with some ketchup or other dip or as a side dish.
Tips
Pressing and marinating can be skipped for a quicker version that takes under 30 minutes.
