Breaded Tofu Fingers Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Vegetarian fish sticks, really. Great kid food. Do not forget the dipping sauce.
- 1 x (16-oz) package extra-hard tofu
- 1/2 c. dry bread crumbs (use seasoned crumbs for extra flavor)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp crumbled dry oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic pwdr
- 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 x egg, beaten Vegetable oil
Directions
- Rinse tofu and pat dry. Cut the block of tofu into fingers - about1/2inch thick and 3 inches long. More or possibly less.
- In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, oregano and garlic pwdr. Measure flour into another small bowl. Have the egg ready in a third bowl. Grease a cookie sheet.
- Toss the tofu fingers in the flour, then dip each one into the beaten egg and roll it in the bread crumb mix. (The flour step, by the way, helps bind the egg and crumbs to the tofu, so which the crumbs do not just fall off.)
- Place the breaded fingers on the cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about 30 min, turning them over halfway through.
- Serve warm with dipping sauces - ketchup, sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce, barbecue sauce, warm mustard, whatever.
