Cheery's Vegan 'Chicken' Steaks

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 block of firm tofu

plain flour

chicken-free flavor seasoning

yeast flakes

soy sauce

vegan mayonnaise (with or without garlic)

garlic powder

salt (optional)

oil (preferably flavored)

 

 

 

 

Drain the tofu, press with kitchen towel and slice thinly into

long 'steaks'.

 

Mix some flour, chicken free seasoning and yeast flakes together in a

bowl. There must be enough seasoning so that the flour does not look

pure white anymore. Add 1/2 teaspoon or so of garlic powder. For a

kick, add a pinch of chili powder.

 

Dip the tofu slices into the soy sauce and leave to one side.

 

Mix the mayonnaise with a small amount of soy sauce and a very small

amount of oil. Mix up so that the mayo goes a creamy coffee-brown.

Lay the tofu slices in a row, and with your fingers, smear the

flavored mayo across the top. Leave for a few moments, turn the

slices upside down and add mayo to the other side.

 

Sprinkle a considerable amount of the seasoning you have just made

over the top of the slices. Then flip them over and repeat on the

other side. Place them on a lightly oiled baking sheet and add a

little more of the actual chicken free seasoning to the top and a

pinch of salt.

 

Place them in a 180 degree oven for fifteen minutes, then flip them

over and bake for another 15 minutes.

 

You can use these in a sandwich or serve with rice and veg as part of

a meal---or be like me and eat them on the spot.

 

Be warned, this is serious comfort food oozing with calories! Yum!

Make healthy alterations if you want :-)
