Buffalo Oven-"Fried" Tofu

Recipe adapted* from: http://www.everythingbutthe.com/2011/06/13/buffalo-chicken-fried-tofu/


Ingredients:

1 package extra firm tofu
~1/2 cup nutritional yeast
~1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
2 to 3 tsp. salt
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
Freshly ground pepper
3-4 tablespoons buffalo sauce (you may need more, but it is easy to add more to your bowl)

*The original recipe only calls for 3Tbsp of the nutritional yeast and bread crumbs, but I found that I needed 3 times as much. So I adjusted the recipe. It may depend on the size and shape of your tofu pieces.


Directions:

Press the tofu for about an hour (at least 30 minutes). I use my Tofu Xpress to press it.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with a spray of oil.

Cut the tofu into rectangles - I cut mine into 12 pieces. Prepare the breading by combining nutritional yeast, panko bread crumbs, chili powder, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. In another dish, pour in the hot sauce.

Using one hand, dip the tofu in the hot sauce until it is covered. Then transfer it to the bowl with the breading mixture, and cover it using your other hand. (You should keep one wet hand and one dry).

Place the tofu on the baking sheet in one layer. Bake for 15 minutes; flip, and then bake another 15 minutes.
