Vegan Mock Popcorn Shrimp - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
17 ounces extra firm tofu
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
Preparation
-
Dry out the tofu however you have to-- whether it's the stove top, microwave, or plate-press method. But it has to be really, REALLY dry in order for this work. I drain the package very well then blot with a dish towel once the block is on a plate, then nuke it in 2-minute intervals, blotting off water every time, until little to no water comes out then I let it cool off so I can handle it.
Cut the tofu into little cubes.
Mix the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the olive oil in a long rectangular dish/container.
In a tossing bowl, toss the dry tofu cubes with the olive oil to fully coat them.
Dredge the cubes with the flour mixture.
Lightly fry in canola oil then blot on paper towels.
