Ingredients
- Crispy Tofu
- 1 16oz package of super firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- Neutral oil for frying, like avocado
- Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vegan butter
- 5 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons vegan cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Drain and press your tofu for 10-15 minutes. I place my tofu between paper towels and top with books, pans, etc.
- After 15 min, slice tofu in half width wise. Cut into strips and add to a large bag. Add in your corn starch and carefully shake the bag to get the tofu coated in the corn starch.
- In a large saute pan on medium heat, add some oil. Fry tofu for 3-4 minutes on each side. Add to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- In the same pan add your olive oil, butter and minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds. Add in your milk, cream cheese and nutritional yeast. Allow for the cream cheese to melt and thicken up the sauce. Once nice and silky, add in your sun-dried tomatoes. Mix and let cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Add your tofu to the sauce and coat everything to combine.
- Serve with pasta, rice, couscous, etc.
