Ingredients
 
 

  • 400 g firm tofu
  • 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 the tofu from its packaging. Press for around 4 hrs to overnight to drain off any excess water.
  • When the tofu is pressed, prepare the marinade by mixing together the rest of the ingredients (EXCEPT the breadcrumbs).
  • Cut the tofu in 1cm (0.4 inches) 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.
