Steps:
- Dissolve vegan stock cubes in the boiling water in a bowl. Add garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, and 1 pinch salt. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.
- Mix 1 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Place remaining flour in a shallow bowl.
- Stir 5 tablespoons water and flaxseed meal together in a separate bowl. Let "egg" stand until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add soy milk; mix well. Stir into the flour mixture until batter is well combined.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Take the tofu pieces and dip them in bowl of flour; move into the batter to coat. Fry in the hot oil until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side.

[email protected]These were a bit too bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't add enough seasoning. Next time I'll be sure to add more herbs and spices.

[email protected]These were a bit too oily for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't drain the tofu properly. Next time I'll be sure to do that.

[email protected]These were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much chili powder. Next time I'll use less.
