A RECIPE TO TRY

Had this or something close to it today at a Chinese restaurant. i thought it was very good and am going to try it at home. you veggie types might like it too.

Fried tofu is great on it's own or dipped in just about any kind of sauce. You can also use fried tofu in a vegetable stir-fry, fried rice or noodle dish, or just about anything. I like to add fried tofu to vegetarian soups and salads for extra protein and a bit of crunchy texture. This Chinese-inspired fried tofu recipe is both vegetarian and vegan.
Ingredients:

1 block firm or extra firm tofu
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp flour
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
Preparation:

Slice the tofu into 1/2 inch cubes.
In a small bowl, combine the tofu with the remaining ingredients, except the oil, and toss gently to coat the tofu well. Or, place all ingredients in a zip-lock bag or covered container and shake well.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the tofu. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and lightly crispy.

  1. Looks easy and yummy, too. And it should keep away fleas! I remember giving Ms. Beasley Brewer's Yeast in the Chapel Hill days for just that purpose! : - )
