[Guest guest]

If you don't like tofu please give this recipe a try,

it just might change your mind.

Freeze and thaw the tofu for a chewy texture.

 

 

Breaded, Fried, Softly Spiced Tofu

 

1 16 ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained and

pressed

2 cups vegetable broth

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon sage

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

 

Cut pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices; then cut

again into 1/2-inch wide sticks. Place tofu in a bowl,

and pour broth over the top. Set aside to soak.

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, yeast, salt,

pepper, sage, and cayenne.

Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove tofu sticks from broth, and squeeze most (but

not all) of the liquid from them. Roll sticks in

breading. (You may have to roll sticks twice to end up

with a fairly dry outer layer of breading.) Place tofu

in hot oil; fry until crisp and browned on all sides.

Add more oil if necessary.
