This recipe combines the crispy texture of breaded tofu with the tangy flavor of pickled plums for a delicious and satisfying dish. Perfect for a vegan twist on a classic chicken dish.
Ingredients: 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cut into thick slices. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 2 tablespoons maple syrup. 2 tablespoons rice vinegar. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon grated ginger. 4 pickled plums, sliced. Sesame seeds for garnish. Green onions for garnish.
Instructions: Set oven temperature to 375F 190C. Combine breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, paprika, onion, and garlic powders in a shallow dish. Season with salt and pepper. Combine soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic in another shallow dish to make a marinade. Coat tofu slices in the breadcrumb mixture after dipping them in the marinade. Lay out the breaded tofu slices on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake the tofu for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating it halfway through, or until it becomes golden brown and crispy. Garnish the baked tofu chicken with pickled plum slices. Add chopped green onions and sesame seeds as garnish. Have fun!
