Breaded Tofu Parmesan
Sometimes
you are just looking for something that is a little funkier than your
usual marinated tofu and this fits the bill. Crunchy on the outside,
tender inside and savory as heck, this Breaded Tofu Parmesan works
great in sandwiches and wraps, on salads or baked in a casserole. This
is one to try on those who swear they don’t like tofu. Ideally, you
want a super-firm tofu (like this one),
which you can find at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods: it is not packed in
water. You can also use extra-firm tofu that has been pressed.
Breaded Tofu Parmesan
Super firm tofu, cut into slabs or the shape you like
3 tablespoons tamari
1 tablespoon water
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 cup Italian-Style Magic Sprinkles
2 teaspoons dried dill
1/3 cup vegan panko (I used gluten-free)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
½ tablespoon oil (optional)
Combine the tamari, water and garlic. Place in a
rectangular pan along with the tofu slabs and let marinate for an hour
or so, turning a few times to immerse. Combine the Sprinkles, dill,
panko and cornstarch a food processor and pulse until combined. Place
in a pie pan or another flat dish and coat the tofu on all sides in the
breading.
Heat the oil in a large, flat skillet over medium heat for a minute,
then add the tofu. Cook for six minutes, then flip, lower the
temperature to medium low, and cook five more minutes.
Alternatively, if you want to avoid oil, bake on a parchment or
Silpat-lined baking sheet at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, then flip and
cook another ten minutes.
