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!
CHICKEN FRIED TOFU
Steps:
- Dice the tofu to your desired size.
- In a large bowl, mix together the 3 tbsp of salt, 1/2 cup of pineapple juice, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, and 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar.Fill the rest of the bowl with water and let sit for 2-4 hours refrigerated.
- Gather the buttermilk mixture and mix them in a large bowl. Place the marinated tofu in the mixture and let sit while you prepare the breading mix.*Note: At the last minute I realized that I was all out of Almond Milk and decided to try subbing for water. Worked great!
- Gather up all of your seasonings along with the flour and nutritional yeast. Whisk together.*Note- I did not have the following seasonings: savoury, sage, dill, marjoram, or coriander. Still turned out great!
- In a pan that's appropriate for frying, fill with enough oil to cover most of the tofu. Set the stove a bit under medium, but not too low. If you have a cooking thermometer, it should stay between 350 and 375. Once the oil is hot (should sizzle when splashed with water), begin frying the tofu by dipping each piece of tofu in the buttermilk mixture, then in the breading, then BACK in the buttermilk and AGAIN in the breading. Cook until golden brown and edges are crispy. Rotate as needed.
- Once finished cooking, remove them from the grease and transfer to a plate covered with paper towels in order to absorb some of the grease. Enjoy! These are so good! You'll love them! Note: These pair very well with BBQ sauce!
SIMPLE CHICKEN AND TOFU CURRY
Okay so the hubby and kids HATE tofu right? They don't know what they are missing. This is one way to slip in those soy isofavones that they need. The chicken comes out fantastic too. I like to serve this with rice, steamed green beans, mango chutney and flat bread (flour tortillas work fine). There are many kinds of curry; I use a powdered one from a local natural foods store. Take the time to try a few and find one that is right for your family, some are hot and some are savory. Yummy.

CONGO TOFU (OR CHICKEN)
I've only ever made this as a tofu dish, but the friend I got it from makes it with chicken. It's very good either way. Don't let the odd ingredients scare you--the flavors blend wonderfully. If you make this with chicken, I'd probably use 3 or 4 chicken breasts.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu and press it for at least 15 minutes.
- Cut the tofu into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Sautee the tofu cubes in the peanut oil until it has browned a little on each side, or until it's as crispy as you like it. Personally, I like it pretty crispy.
- Add the minced onions, garlic & ginger, and saute until the onions are translucent.
- Add the spaghetti sauce and tomato paste, and mix well. Stir in the chickpeas, and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Now stir in the peanut butter. It will melt and be easy to mix in with sauce.
- Serve over rice with optional chopped scallions &/or cilantro as a garnish.

- Freeze your tofu. You will need to do this at least 1 day in advance. Take the whole package do not open it and put it in the freezer.
- Once the tofu has thawed, you will need to press it. Frozen tofu retains a lot more water than unfrozen tofu. So do not be afraid to give it a good press and really get all the water out.

- Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger and garlic paste, cornstarch, and green onions in a small bowl and whisk thoroughly.
- Put the tofu on a cutting board or paper towel-lined plate to reduce the moisture. Then, press it down with a heavy skillet and leave for 15 minutes. Pat dry after 15 minutes.
- Cut the tofu block into cube sizes, and top it with some corn starch, pepper, and salt to taste. This adds the much-needed crispness to the exterior of the tofu, and it’s going to help it get nice and golden while you’re serving it.
- Once the oil is heated, add the tofu and cook for 3-4 minutes or until it becomes golden on all sides. You’re going to want to keep tossing it regularly to make sure it cooks evenly.
- Then, pour a little more cooking oil into the same skillet. Add the broccoli, carrots, and red pepper to it and cook for 4 minutes. Add the snow peas and cabbage and cook for more couple of minutes and stir in the sauce.
