Breaded Tofu Strips

Ingredients:

Tofu Marinade:
14 oz extra firm or firm tofu pressed (I usually use Nasoya Organic non gmo)
1 tbsp low sodium tamari/soy sauce
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp maple syrup or other sweetener
1/2 tsp hot sauce optional
2 tsp oil
1/2 tsp garam masala or 1/2 tsp ground cumin and 1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp garlic
1/4 tsp salt

Breadcrumb coating:
3/4 cup breadcrumbs use gluten-free crumbs to make gf
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tbsp nutritional yeast optional

Instructions:

1.Cut the section into 6 to 8 rectangles. Press the tofu for thirty minutes between kitchen towels and under an overwhelming weight to expel abundance dampness. or then again utilize Tofu press (previously or subsequent to cutting).

2.Blend the marinade fixings. Plunge the tofu in the marinade and coat all sides to make a notwithstanding covering that isn't too thick or too thin. Place the tofu strips in a compartment with a cover.

3.Refrigerate for atleast 30 minutes or more.

4.Blend everything under breadcrumb covering. In the event that the breadcrumbs are too substantial, beat them a couple of times in a blender and utilize.

5.Place every tofu strip in the breadcrumb blend. Flip to coat all sides.

6.Warmth a flame broil container over medium high warmth on the stove. Brush oil on the container and place the breaded tofu on the skillet. Cook 7 to 9 minutes each side or until the point that dark colored strips show up.

7.Present with sauces of decision like vegetarian farm or a dash of lemon, or cut and to plates of mixed greens, bowls, wraps, sandwiches, and so on. Imagined with Butternut Squash Pilaf.

Recipe Notes:

To bake: Bake at preheated 425 degrees F for 30 minutes or longer until crisp, flipping half way through.
You can grill the baked tofu over high heat to get grill marks.
For a stickier marinade, add 2 tsp flax seed meal and mix in. Let sit for 2 minutes, then coat tofu in the marinade.
