Steps:
- Cut each tofu slice into thirds, widthwise. Press each slice between paper towels to drain as much liquid as possible. Place on a plate and freeze, about 1 hour.
- Place bread in a food processor. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, and marjoram. Blend to make fine bread crumbs. Pour into a small bowl.
- Beat egg in a bowl. Dip tofu slices into egg and coat in bread crumbs. Place breaded tofu on a plate. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 1/3 of the tofu into the pan. Cook, turning over halfway, until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tofu.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu, then wrap in a clean dish towel and place a heavy object, such as a cast iron pan, on top. Press the tofu for 20-30 minutes, until the towel is soaked through.
- Place the pressed tofu back in its container and wrap with reusable wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours, up to overnight.
- Remove the tofu from the freezer and place in a microwave-safe bowl over a clean dish towel. Defrost in the microwave until completely thawed and the dish towel is soaked through, 10-15 minutes.
- Wrap the tofu in a clean dish towel and press again for another 20-30 minutes, until the dish towel is soaked through and the tofu is half its original thickness.
- While the tofu is pressing, make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, grapeseed oil, hot sauce, soy milk, and apple cider vinegar.
- Tear the tofu into bite-size pieces that resemble chicken tenders or nuggets. Add the tofu to the marinade and stir to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
- While the tofu is marinating, set up the breading station: In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour and cornstarch. In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the soy milk and apple cider vinegar. In a third shallow bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, and olive oil (only if baking the tofu).
- If deep-frying the tofu, heat the canola oil in a medium pot over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
- Alternatively, if baking the tofu, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- When the tofu is done marinating, coat the pieces first the flour mixture, then in the soy milk mixture, then again in the flour mixture, again in the soy milk mixture, and finally in the bread crumb mixture.
- If deep-frying the tofu, add the tofu to the hot oil in batches and cook for 90-120 seconds, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- If baking the tofu, line a baking sheet with a nonstick mat or parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray. Add the tofu to the baking sheet and spray the tops with nonstick spray, then bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
- Serve with honey mustard or barbecue sauce for dipping.
- Enjoy!
FRIED TOFU NUGGETS WITH SESAME HONEY MUSTARD
Stir fried, sauteed, baked or straight from the package, tofu is a delicious versatile ingredient to have in your fridge when you need to put something on the dinner table quickly. In this recipe for fried tofu nuggets, I like to grate the tofu and squeeze out the liquid then replace that liquid with full-flavored ingredients including soy sauce and freshly grated onion. Served alongside a simple tangy-sweet sesame honey mustard, these nuggets are an excellent addition to your collection of tofu recipes.

Steps:
- Make the sesame honey mustard: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, vinegar and sesame oil. Set aside or refrigerate the sauce in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Make the fried tofu nuggets: In a medium bowl, whisk together the onion, scallions, egg, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Grate the tofu on the large holes of a box grater onto a baking sheet or large flat plate. Evenly spread out the grated tofu and top with 2 layers of paper towels. Use your hands to firmly press the paper towels into the tofu until they're completed soaked with liquid. Repeat the pressing with another 2 layers of paper towels until the tofu is dry and looks like shredded chicken. Add the pressed tofu to the medium bowl and gently fold to combine. Sprinkle in the flour and gently fold it in.
- In a 10- to 12-inch high-sided skillet, heat 1/2 inch of the oil to 350 degrees F. Line another baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
- While the oil heats, use a 2-tablespoon ice cream scoop to portion out 20 tofu nuggets onto the first baking sheet. Using an offset spatula, slightly flatten each portion into the shape of a 1/2-inch-thick nugget.
- Carefully add a few tofu nuggets to the hot oil. Don't overcrowd the skillet or the oil temperature will drop too much (it shouldn't drop below 300 degrees F). Fry the nuggets, flipping halfway through, until the nuggets are golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes 30 seconds. Remove to the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining nuggets, heating the oil back to 350 degrees F between each batch. Serve immediately with the sesame honey mustard.
TOFU CHICKEN NUGGETS
These tofu chicken nuggets can be made ahead to use throughout the week. To mimic the taste (and texture!) of chicken, we also use a plant-based product called seitan. -Rashanda Cobbins, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

TOFU NUGGETS
This is from Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious. She says the taste fools her kids into thinking they are eating fried cheese or chicken nuggets. I haven't tried this, but am posting recipes from the book upon request.

Steps:
- Combine the breadcrumbs, flaxseed meal, parmesean, and paprika in a small bowl.
- Mix the vegetable puree and egg together in a flat bowl.
- Slice or cube the tofu into bite sized pieces. You can use any shape you want, including cookie cutters. Sprinkle the tofu with the salt.
- Dip the tofu into the egg mixture, then roll in the breadcrumbs until the tofu is completed coated and you can't see the puree.
- Spray a large nonstick pan with cooking spray, heat the pan, then add the oil.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat 3-4 minutes to a side, being careful not to overbrown. Cook until the coating is crisp and golden on all sides.
- Note: the recipe for chicken nuggets is almost identical, but calls for using broccoli, spinach, sweet potato, or beet puree.

- Drain and press tofu according to these DIRECTIONS. Once pressed, break the tofu into large chunks. See video for reference but aim for them to be roughly the size of average chicken nuggets. You want them to be a little rough around the edges so it doesn’t need to be perfect.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together marinade ingredients. Add in the tofu and let marinate for 15 minute or even overnight overnight.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ingredients for the buttermilk and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove the tofu from the marinade (squeezing very lightly to release excess liquid- a little is totally fine and you don’t need to remove all of it) and add it into the buttermilk mixture (you can do this in stages as desired). Let sit for a few minutes while you make the breading.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat enough oil so that it will come up roughly halfway up your pieces of tofu (about 1/2 an inch of oil).
