Fried Tofu Bite - Vegan Chicken Nuggets

 

Fried Tofu Bites - AKA The Vegan Chicken Nugget

 

I found a recipe online and altered it a little.

 

I used ;

6 oz. Firm Tofu

3/4 - 1 cup of gluten free/ diary free/ soy free bread crumbs- Found at Publix (Greenwise)

Spices of choice; I used Italian, rosemary, garlic salt, paper, oregano

3/4 cup olive oil

 

 

1. Cut the Tofu in squares, the same size as the above worked well for me.

2. Place the tofu on paper towel to let dry.

3. In a bowl mix the bread crumbs and spices.

4. In a 12'' shallow skillet heat your olive oil. To test to olive oil heat, toss a dash of bread crumbs in to see if the sizzle. Once you pass the sizzle test. go to step 5.

5. Place your tofu piece, I did one at a time, in your bread crumb/ spice bowl and coat the tofu with mixture.

6. Gently place the tofu in the oil, Depending on how hot the oil is, I did 1 1/2 minute on each large side. and about 30-40 seconds and the surrounding 4 sides.

7. Once ready to come out the skillet place on paper towel to let extra oil off.
