These tofu strips are perfectly crisp and full of wonderful flavours.

Best served with a salad such as this Lime & Coriander Brown Rice Bean Salad.

I use Tofuture tofu press to make this dish.

Ingredients

400g firm tofu [14 oz]
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp smoked garlic powder
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp salt
juice of 1 lime
1 Tbsp tomato paste
2 handfuls of breadcrumbs

Instructions

Remove tofu from packaging. Press for around 4 hrs to overnight to drain off any excess water. I use Tofuture press.
When tofu is pressed, prepare the marinade by mixing together the rest of the ingredients (EXCEPT the breadcrumbs).
Cut tofu in 1cm (0.4 inch) thick strips. Cover each strip with marinade all over. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
When you are ready to cook the tofu strips, put the breadcrumbs on a plate. Lay each tofu strips in the breadcrumbs, turning them over and pressing them slightly so that they are coated all over.
Heat some olive oil in a frying pan. Cook the tofu strips for around 8 mins, turning them over once so that they are golden all over.
