Ingredients
•
1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained
•
1/4 cup cornstarch
•
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon vegetarian chicken-flavored bouillon granules
•
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
•
1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
•
2 tablespoons canola oil
•
1/2 cup cayenne pepper hot sauce
•
1/3 cup margarine, melted
Directions
1
Slice tofu into 6 slices. Lay flat onto a clean kitchen towel. Fold towel over to cover tofu completely. Cover with a baking sheet and set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for about 30 minutes.
2
Combine cornstarch, flour, bouillon, garlic powder, and cayenne powder in a shallow bowl. Pour soy milk into another bowl.
3
Cut each slice of tofu in half, for 12 'wings' total. Dip each slice in soy milk; roll into the cornstarch mixture. Place coated slices on a plate.
4
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the coated tofu slices. Fry, flipping halfway, until crispy on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes total. Add hot sauce and margarine to the saucepan and stir to coat the tofu.
