Wow! This might be my new favorite fast food - it's really easy and quick to make, and incredibly tasty too! I found this recipe on the blog "What the Hell Does a Vegan Eat Anyway" (http://veganmenu.blogspot.com/).

US/Metric: [convert to metric]

Ingredients

  • 1 package Firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup Tamari soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup All purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Smoked paprika (if you have it; if not, regular will do)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Oil (for frying)

Preparation

Cut the tofu into 8 rectangular cutlets, and then cut diagonally into long triangles. Marinate the tofu in the tamari for 5 minutes.

Combine the flour, paprika, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

Coat the tofu cutlets in the flour mixture.

In a cast-iron skillet (or other heavy-bottomed skillet) heat the oil over high heat. Add the coated tofu pieces gently into the oil and fry until well-browned on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Drain, and serve immediately.

My wife and I enjoyed this. I didn't have soy sauce so I made my own marinade with balsamic, molasses, and liquid smoke. I would also argue that they are best left to sit and dry for 15min on paper towels before serving. They won't be hot, but they will have a nice crisp. I finished it off by sprinkling paprika on the top just before serving.
