Sesame Crusted Tofu

1 block tofu, press tofu an hour ahead, then 20 minutes' work.

Tofu

  • 1 (16oz) package extra-firm tofu
  • Chickpea flour
  • Nooch
  • Nondairy milk
  • 3 Tbsp panko bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp white sesame seeds
  • 1 Tbsp black sesame seeds
  • canola oil for frying
  • green onions, sliced
  1. Slice the tofu into half-inch-thick slices, and press/drain.
  2. Prepare the dredge train:
    1. Flour, nooch, maybe some cornstarch?
    2. Nondairy milk, potentially lemon or vinegar to thicken it
    3. Panko and sesame seeds
  3. One piece of tofu at a time, dredge it in order, making sure to coat completely at each step.
  4. Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add about 2 to 3 teaspoons of oil, enough to form a thin layer on the bottom of the pan. Arrange tofu slices in pan and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
  5. Garnish with scallions and serve with dipping sauce.
