Tofu Sticks

from Mu Shu Wraps with Asian Plum Sauce, the Week of September 20, 2015.
View the previous recipe for this meal.

Lightly floured and seared sticks of tofu are great in a stir-fry or as an extra protein for many dishes. The sweet white rice mochiko flour works well here. But, any all-purpose flour will reasonably substitute.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces tofu, extra-firm , more or less
  • 3 tablespoons flour, mochiko rice flour or other all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, more if needed

Serving Size: 2 People

Preparation Instructions

Cut the brick of tofu into 1/2 inch slabs and then again into sticks, about 4-5 sticks per slab. Spread out on a towel and allow the excess liquid to absorb a bit into the cloth. Fold the towel over and bloat any excess liquid, too. Sprinkle the sticks with the salt.

Place the flour in a shallow dish. Warm the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip the tofu sticks into the flour, shaking to evenly distribute.

Lay into the oil and sear on each side for about 4-6 minutes until golden.

Add to any dish or munch on them as a snack with a fun dipping sauce.
