How to Prepare Tofu Chick’n Nuggets [Vegan]

Cut tofu into small rectangles (or any shape you desire). Heat 1/2 tsp of oil in a large nonstick skillet. Sear both sides of the tofu pieces until golden brown.
Whisk together all the marinade ingredients in a shallow tupperware. Place tofu in the container and spread them evenly apart. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Whisk together breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add about 1/2 inch of oil into the bottom of a wide shallow pot. Preheat to 350°F. Coat tofu in breadcrumb mixture and cook several pieces at a time in the oil making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook on both sides until deep golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel. Repeat with all tofu pieces.
Serve tofu chick'n nuggets with desired sauce. To store, freeze leftovers.
