Yummy crispy tofu. Kids will love it. Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) package tofu |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice |
1 teaspoon sugar (i use splenda) |
3/4 cup cornstarch |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs |
1/3 cup oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. -Drain and press tofu getting out as much water as possible.
2. -Cut into cubes, about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch.
3. -Combine soy sauce, lime juice and sugar in a bowl. Add tofu and coat all sides. Marinate about 30 minutes, turn once halfway through.
4. -Dredge. Make an assembly line, one bowl of cornstarch, the second with egg, the third with Panko crumbs. Toss tofu in each bowl.
5. -Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat oven to 200.
6. -Heat oil in nonstick skillet.
7. -Add the tofu to heated oil. Fry them until golden brown, turning several times to brown each side.
8. -Transfer the cubes to the paper towel lined baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm until ready to eat.
9. -Great served with any stir-fry vegetable dish and rice.
10. An easy variation is to bake rather than fry. Tastes pretty much the same without the oil calories.
