Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Slice the tofu block into 8 slices, widthwise. Then cut each slice in half diagonally, to make 16 triangles.
  2. Using a wide shallow dish, add the soymilk and cornstarch and wisk until well combined, and cornstarch is completely disolved.
  3. In another shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, spices, salt and zest, and gently wisk to combine.
  4. Heat about 1/4 inch canola oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Dip each tofu triangle into the soymilk mixture, and then dredge completely in the seasoned cornmeal mixture.
  6. When oil is hot, fry pieces in skillet for about 3 minutes on each side, I usually do 6-8 pieces at a time.
  7. Drain on paper towels.
  8. Serve plain, or on grilled rolls with vegan mayo, lettuce and tomato!
