How to Prepare Tofu Fish and Chips [Vegan]

Start squeezing out water of a block of tofu. This is quite important as it helps the tofu absorb flavors better.
In the meantime, make whatever kind of fries you want.
For the tartar sauce, finely chop a few gherkins and mix together with vegan mayonnaise.
Pour a bottle of beer into a large bowl, add all other batter ingredients, and whisk until you get a pancake-like batter.
Cut the tofu into 1/3-inch thick cutlets. Sprinkle lemon juice on the tofu pieces and season generously with garlic powder, some pepper, and sea salt. Wrap
Wrap a sushi nori sheet around the tofu. It will be a bit moist, so the sushi nori sheet should stick to it well.
Add a generous amount of fine bread crumbs to a plate.
Dunk the tofu "fish" pieces into the batter and then move to the plate with bread crumbs and cover well on all sides.
Fry in hot cooking oil until golden brown.
While that's frying, cook your peas.
When the "fish" pieces are done transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve everything on a large plate and sprinkle some lemon juice on the "fish" pieces for extra flavor.
