Tofu “Chicken” Nuggets
Ingredients;
1 block of extra firm tofu (drained & pressed)
1/3 cup of soy milk
2 Tbsp Mustard
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Nutritional Yeast
3/4 Cup Bread Crumbs
You may need to double up on the sauce/bread crumbs. I found myself running out halfway through the block of tofu.
Cut the block of tofu into nugget sized pieces and set aside.
Place the bread crumbs in one bowl and in another bowl, put all the other ingredients together and until mix them well.
While you do this next part place enough oil in a wok or deep fryer to thoroughly cover the tofu nuggets and heat on medium allowing the oil to get boiling hot.
Now take your tofu and dip each nugget into the sauce, then the bread crumbs until all pieces are well coated and get ready for the real fun, DEEP FRYING!!!! * Gently place a few pieces of tofu at a time in the oil and let them get golden brown. Of course if you like more crispy burn(y) crust, leave them in longer. Once they are at the desired crispiness remove them from the oil and place them on a plate coated with some paper towels to soak up the oil. Continue the process until all of the nuggets are fried and then cover the plate with some more paper towels to take care of any excess oil.
Let the nuggets cool for a bit, then enjoy with your favorite condiment. Beer does not count as a condiment.
*If you want to make this “healthy” then cook the nuggets at 350° for 25 minutes turning once. In my opinion this is NO fun healthy so I say fry the sh*t out of these buggers!!!
