These seasoned fried tofu nuggets make a great vegetarian option for the more popular chicken nuggets. Dipped in a seasoned batter then fried to a crisp golden brown, these nuggets are known to convert tofu haters into lovers. I've heard of these spray and oven bake them too. Very versatile after learning to use this product.
It's better to go to the HFS and buy tofu made from Organic soybeans . They have flavored tofu and already cubed. Just add more fiber for a better balance, with brown rice or stir and fry vegetables.Ingredients
- 1 package extra firm tofu
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (available in the health food section, bulk spices) or, chicken flavoring in bulk.
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup water
Coconut or Peanut Oil
Instructions
- Place the block of tofu on top of a flat strainer and place a flat plate over the top of the tofu. Then place a heavy pot on top of the plate. This will allow the tofu to expel as much water as possible. Allow the tofu to drain for 30 minutes.
Cut the tofu in 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, stir in the flour, yeast, garlic powder, salt, paprika, black pepper, and water. Stir the batter until smooth.
Pour 1/3-inch level of oil into a medium pan. Heat the oil on medium heat.
Working in small batches, generously coat the tofu cubes with the seasoned batter.
Without overcrowding the pan, fry the bottom of the tofu until the batter turns to a crispy golden brown. Flip the cubes and cook until the rest of the tofu cubes are crispy and golden brown. Place finished cubes on a plate lined with a paper towel.
Continue to do this until all the cubes have been fried.
The tofu will be very hot. Allow the tofu to cool for five minutes. Enjoy while warm and crisp.
Serve with brown rice, or as a topping for salad. (Slice like spam for sandwiches)
