Lemon Pepper Tofu Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or lightly coat with oil. Poke each slice of tofu with a fork 3-4 times to let the flavors seep inches
• Drizzle the olive oil and aminos on a plate. Use a microplane to grate the garlic into the mix (or mince the garlic as finely as you can). Dredge each tofu slice and lay them out on the plate. Sprinkle one tablespoon of lemon pepper over the tofu and rub it inches Flip and repeat.
• Place the tofu in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes on one side, flip and bake another 10 minutes. Yum!

Steps:

• For the lemon-pepper "chicken": Place the tofu on a layer of paper towels on a cutting board. Top with more paper towels. Place a pot over the top and fill with heavy cans to press the excess liquid from the tofu. Let stand for 30 minutes.
• Cut the tofu into strips. Soak the strips in the broth in a bowl for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the ranch dip: Stir together the mayonnaise, almond milk, parsley, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the lemon-pepper "chicken": Pour enough oil to reach halfway up the sides of a cast-iron skillet. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack.
• Make the "buttermilk" by stirring together the almond milk and vinegar in a shallow dish. Let stand, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes to develop a tangy flavor. Combine the flour, cornstarch, lemon-pepper seasoning and salt and pepper to taste in a separate shallow dish.
• Dip the tofu strips in the "buttermilk," then dredge in the flour mixture. Fry, in batches, turning occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain on a wire rack and sprinkle with additional lemon-pepper seasoning while still hot. Serve hot with the ranch dip.

Steps:

• Drain the tofu very well and press out all the excess water using the plate press method or drying out in the microwave.
• I get about 8-9 width-wise slices per block, cut out about eight 1/2" thick pieces then place into a tossing bowl.
• Mix the other ingredients together to make a marinade and pour over the tofu pieces, tossing well to coat.
• Lay the tofu pieces out into a flat dish/container so they don't overlap, and freeze for about 40-60 minutes for both the marinade to soak in and the tofu to have a nice fish-like texture when it grills.
• Grill on each side for about 5-10 minutes or until that nice browned grilled look comes into place.

Steps:

• 1. Combine the lemongrass, soy sauce, chilies, chili flakes, turmeric, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the tofu cubes and turn to coat them evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes.
• 2. Heat half of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat. Add the onion, shallot and garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the onions are soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
• 3. Wipe the pan clean and heat the remaining oil over moderate heat. Add the tofu mixture and, using chopstick or wooden spoons, turn so it cooks evenly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion mixture and cook, uncovered, for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add half the peanuts and all the pepper leaves.
• 4. Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with the remaining peanuts and serve immediately with steamed rice.
