Perfect Crispy Fried Tofu
PREP: 5 min | COOK: 5 min | PRESS: 10 min | SERVINGS: 4
INGREDIENTS
1 block firm or extra-firm tofu
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Press the tofu by placing paper towels underneath and on top of the block and weighing it down for 10 minutes.
Slice the pressed tofu into ½-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, combine the tofu with the nutritional yeast, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat the tofu well. Or, place all ingredients in a zip-lock bag or covered container and shake well.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Add the tofu. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and lightly crispy on most sides.
