Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 container extra firm tofu
- 1/4 cup corn meal
- 2-3 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
- soy sauce (optional)
Directions:
After draining and lightly pressing tofu to get rid of
excess moisture, slice tofu into French fry shape.
They should be about 1/2" wide and 2" long. If they
are too big they won't stay together when they are
dipped.
On a plate or in a shallow bowl mix
together corn meal and yeast (salt is optional) and
either dip tofu sticks in soy sauce then roll in the
corn meal mixture or go straight to the corn meal
and skip the soy sauce. I use soy sauce only
occasionally and some times use teriyaki sauce in
place of it and that usually makes them just a little
more crispy.
Place them on a baking sheet that has
been sprayed with a little oil and bake at 350 for 15
minutes, turn over and bake for 15 minutes. These
can be pan fried but I like being able to put them all
in the oven and walk away, and it's more healthy
baking them.
Let cool and serve with any dipping
sauce like marinara, mustard, ketchup, soy-ranch,
or anything you've got laying around. My kids love
them and I love giving them to them, they are so
cheap and easy to make.
