Breaded, Fried, Softly Spiced Tofu image

This tofu recipe is completely gorgeous. A former roommate introduced me to some basics with tofu, and over the past few years, I've settled on this ratio of spices and other breading ingredients. The crust on the tofu sticks is tasty and the texture is really wonderful. Serve with a relish or a dip of some sort (I love this with plain yogurt mixed with eggplant brinjal). I usually make this with a cumin-scented rice dish and a garlicky broccoli side.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
2 cups vegetable broth
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sage
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Cut pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices; then cut again into 1/2-inch wide sticks. Place tofu in a bowl, and pour broth over the top. Set aside to soak.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together flour, yeast, salt, pepper, sage, and cayenne.
  • Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Remove tofu sticks from broth, and squeeze most (but not all) of the liquid from them. Roll sticks in breading. (You may have to roll sticks twice to end up with a fairly dry outer layer of breading.) Place tofu in hot oil; fry until crisp and browned on all sides. Add more oil if necessary.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tofu didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked.

I'm not a big fan of tofu, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The breading was crispy and flavorful, and the tofu was cooked perfectly.

The tofu was a little too bland for my taste, but it was still a good recipe.

This breaded fried tofu recipe was a hit! The tofu had a crispy exterior and a tender interior, and the spices gave it a delicious flavor.
