Za’Atar Dusted Tofu
- For the tofu and marinade
- 1 pound tofu
- 1/2 cup soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (or other high-heat oil) for frying, or enough to fill bottom of pan
- For the za'atar flour rub
- 1/2 cup white flour
- 2 tablespoons za'atar (or more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Drain tofu. Slice into 1/2 inch thick squares and then diagonally into triangles. Mix soy sauce, ginger, and cayenne in a container. Add tofu and refrigerate for a few hours to overnight.
- On a flat dish, combine dry ingredients for za'atar flour rub.
- Remove tofu from marinade and add to the dish a few at a time to coat the pieces with the flour mix. Then repeat, double dipping each triangle in the rub.
- Heat coconut oil in a pan until hot. Add tofu to the oil and fry the first side until golden brown; then flip and repeat on the other side. Place on a paper towel-lined plate and then transfer to a serving dish.
