Method
- Break super firm tofu16 oz into bite-size pieces. This will get you rougher edges than simply cutting the tofu into cubes. These craggier edges will crisp up more!
- Then toss the tofu chunks in soy sauce1 tbsp and Vegan Buffalo Sauce1 tbsp. After that, toss them in garlic powder1 tsp, onion powder1 tsp, smoked paprika1 tsp, cayenne pepper1/2-1 tsp, and cornstarch2 tbsp. You can eat one to make sure they are seasoned to your taste.
- If you have some crumbled bits of tofu after tossing, you can actually smush them together to form a nugget. It might be a little salty though just FYI!
- Next, add a layer of oil to a 12-inch skillet. Use a neutral flavored high smoke point oil (vegetable, canola, avocado, etc.). Heat the oil to 375 F. Keep an eye on the oil so it doesn't burn.
- Once oil is heated to 375 F, add the tofu chunks and fry for 3-5 minutes. Then flip and fry for another 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure you don't crowd the pan. A block of tofu in a 12-inch skillet is almost crowding, so you can do it in 2 batches if you are unsure about it!
- Let them rest on a wire rack, and then toss them in Vegan Buffalo Sauce1/4-1/2 cup in a large bowl. Make them as saucy as you'd like! Then dig in and enjoy!
- Serve with Vegan Ranch and celery
