INGREDIENTS:
- 1 package extra firm tofu, rinsed, drained and pressed to remove as much liquid as possible
- 3 Tbs coconut oil for frying
- 1/4 Cup corn starch
- 1 Tbs tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tsp nutritional yeast
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Remove your tofu from the package and rinse it in cold water. Wrap it in several paper towels or a tea towel and set it on top of a plate. Add another plate on top and a weight of some kind (I used my sugar container) on top to help the water squeeze out. Let it sit like this for at least 20 minutes, but the longer you let it go the crispier your tofu will get. You can change out the towels if you need to.
- Once your tofu is ready, set your coconut oil to melt in a large skillet over medium high heat. Slice your tofu into whatever size you like. I prefer 1/4 inch slices that are about 2″x 3″, but any size will work.
- Coat your pieces in the corn starch and lay them in the pan gently to fry. Allow them to fry on one side for about 5 minutes, then turn them gently with a spatula to cook for about five more minutes on the new side. If you want them browner or crispier, they can go longer.
- When your tofu is done, let the pieces drain on paper towels. While still hot, drizzle tamari on the pieces and sprinkle with nutritional yeast.
