Simple Easy Fried Tofu Recipe

Versatile Fried Tofu, Tofu Cooking Tips, How To Cook Tasty Tofu

Fried Tofu
Fried Tofu On A Bun

Fried Tofu: is a versatile vegetarian & vegan cooking staple. Simple, easy, and satisfying, it goes in lots of quick, easy recipes, such as tofu, pasta and veggies, or spicy tofu rice pilaf, or in sandwiches, like the tofu-on-a-bun in the picture.

Kids love fried tofu, all by itself, and will reliably eat it, preferably dipped in ketchup (buy organic!). Even non-vegetarian kids will eat it. It's fried, crispy and oily - I guess it reminds them of fries.

Tofu 'steaks' make great sandwiches, especially if you coat the tofu slices with nutritional yeast before frying.

Serves 4 - 6:


Fried Tofu Ingredients:

  • 1 lb firm tofu, drained
  • Braggs liquid aminos (preferred), or soy sauce
  • 2 - 3 Tbsp olive oil, or other cooking oil
  • Optional: paprika, cumin, ginger, cayenne
  • Optional: nutritional yeast

Directions

  1. Slice the tofu in 1/2 X 1" pieces, or in 1/2 inch slabs (for sandwiches or tofu 'steaks' - there must be a better word!)
  2. Place in a bowl, sprinkle with braggs, and shake or stir
  3. Marinate for a few minutes to an hour as you like
  4. Optional: Add a bit of paprika, cumin, ginger, pinch cayenne to the Braggs or soy sauce
  5. Optional: After marinating in Braggs, coat with nutritional yeast before frying for a cheesy crispy crust
  6. Heat the oil on medium/high in a heavy non stick frying pan or well cured cast iron pan
  7. Add the tofu, fry 5 minutes or so on each side until brown and crispy, turning with a spatula (that's the fun part!)
  8. To speed things up, fry the tofu in 1/2 inch slabs, which you can then cut up as needed

What To Do With Your Fried Tofu

  • Serve with pasta and steamed veggies, with a little tomato sauce
  • Serve with rice or quinoa and steamed veggies
  • Add to a salad for a meal in a bowl
  • Combine with sautéed veggies and salsa in a wrap
  • Cut in bite size chunks, and add to a pilaf, or veggie stew
  • Serve on a bun with fixin's and fries
  • Refrigerate in a covered container for sandwiches
