Ingredients
- 1 package extra firm tofu
- 1¼ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoon hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove as much liquid as possible. Cut the tofu into square nuggets.
- Mix the milk, yellow mustard, hot sauce, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Mix flour and remaining spices in another medium size bowl.
- Dip the tofu one piece at a time in the wet mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture.
- Fry the tofu on medium heat in about ¼ inch of oil in a large skillet. It will take just a few minutes for each size to turn golden. When done, place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
