Ingredients
Nuggets
- 200 g extra-firm tofu
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 150 ml water
- ½ cup panko
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 l vegetable oil
Sriracha mayo dipping sauce (optional)
- 3 tablespoon vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
Instructions
- Pat the tofu dry, slice it in half lengthwise, and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
- For the batter, combine flour, starch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and water in a bowl, mixing until smooth. Set aside. In another bowl, mix panko and breadcrumbs.
- Dip each tofu cube into the wet batter, then coat evenly with the crumb mixture. Roll it around to ensure full coverage and place on a dish. Repeat for all tofu cubes.
- For the sriracha dip, blend mayo and sriracha in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the nuggets and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve the nuggets with sriracha dip and enjoy!
