Super Easy Breaded Tofu
By:
Category: Side Dishes
This recipe is suitable for a: vegetarian/vegan diet.
Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
3/4 cup plain soymilk
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup potato flakes (like the kind used to make mashed potatoes)
About 5 oz firm or extra firm tofu
Spices/herbs to taste (salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, and basil reccomended)
1/4 cup Sunflower seeds or chopped nuts (optional)
1 1/2 Tablespoons ketchup (optional)
Oil for frying
Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
Press extra water out of tofu. Cut the tofu into pieces slightly larger than French fries. Pour the soymilk in one bowl, the flour in another. If you are using the optional kethcup, combine it with the soymilk and mix until it is uniformly distributed. In a third bowl, combine the potato flakes, seeds/nuts, herbs and spices. If you aren't sure if you put in the right amount of seasonings, taste it and adjust accordingly. Put tofu in soymilk, then dredge in flour, then soymilk again, flour again, soymilk, and then potato flakes. Then drop tofu into about 1/2 inch of hot oil. Fry until golden brown on all sides (make sure to flip the tofu if it is not covered by the oil). Repeat with the rest of the tofu.
Remove from pan with slotted spoon and drain on papers towels. Eat plain or with more ketchup.
Serves one or two people
Additional comments:
-----------------------------------------------------
All measurements are approximate because I don't measure anything when I cook. It's really up to you how much of each ingredient you use.
These are crisp and light on the outside and soft on the inside.
If you wanted to make this healthier, you could probably fry it in less oil, although it would be a little more difficult. If you drain it well, it shouldn't be very oily anyway
