Ingredients
- 200 g firm tofu
Marinade
- 3 tbsp miso paste
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
Breadcrumb Ingredients
- 80 g panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then slice it into two 1-2 cm thick pieces.
- Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a flat bowl. Coat the tofu slices thoroughly in the marinade.
- Mix the breadcrumb ingredients on a large plate. Remove about ⅓ of the breadcrumbs to add to the top of the marinated tofu. Place the tofu slices on top of the breadcrumbs and press gently to coat. Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs on top, pressing them onto all sides.
- Heat 1-2 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the breaded tofu for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Serve with your favourite sides or in a sandwich.
