These tofu nuggets are a vegan twist on a traditional favorite and beat the fast food variety any day. If you don’t want to deep fry them, you can also fry them in a skillet until golden brown. The curry ketchup is a unique dipping sauce that packs a punch and perfectly complements the dish. It also goes great with your morning tofu scramble eggs!
Crispy Tofu Nuggets [Vegan]
Serves
2
Ingredients
For the Tofu Nuggets:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon raw cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 3/4 cups unsweetened cornflakes
- 1 14-ounce block tofu
- 2 cups vegetable oil
For the Curry Ketchup:
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 2/3 cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
To Make the Tofu Nuggets:
- Stir the flour together with the raw cane sugar, sea salt, and 6 tablespoons water until the batter is smooth. Finely crumble the cornflakes.
- Cut the tofu into slices that are just under 1/2-inch, and then use a knife to shape the tofu into nuggets. Dip the nuggets in the batter and then coat them with the cornflakes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a small saucepan. You’ll know the oil is hot enough if you dip a wooden toothpick into the oil and small bubbles float up to the top around the toothpick.
- Fry the nuggets for approximately 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
To Make the Curry Ketchup:
- Mix all of the ingredients with 3 tablespoons water. Serve with the nuggets.
