Crispy tofu

I LOVE TOFU!!!

I hope this recipe helps you fall in love with it too 🙂

I don’t measure things precisely, I just go off feel. But I don’t think exact ratios are that important in this recipe.

Tofu: extra firm, cut into cubes

Batter: should be like thick pancake consistency —flour + cornstarch (roughly 1:1 ratio), oat milk or water, spices (I like salt + onion powder + garlic powder + curry powder + Italian seasoning — gives it a nice savory crust)

Coat each cube in the batter and bake or pan fry.

Bake method: Spray with cooking oil, bake at 400-450 until bottoms are crispy (10-15 mins), flip them over and re-spray with oil, bake for another 10-15 mins or so

Pan fry method: generous amount of oil, flip the cubes as each side crisps (you end up using way more oil this way)

Bake AND pan fry method: I baked them until they were 3/4 done and then finished them off with a pan fry. The texture was like chicken nuggets!!!

I love topping these off with Trader Joe’s sweet chili sauce

Enjoy, my friends!!!
