Oven Fried Tofu Sticks Recipe Demandrea
- 1 pound firm tofu
- 2 cups bread crumbs, either panko, or crackers will do. Cornflakes or crisp rice might be nice too...
- 2 TSBP cornstarch

- 1/4 cup of milk or water
- 1 tsp salt

- Preheat oven to 375F
- Spray or smear a baking sheet with a thin coat of oil.
- Pat your tofu dry and sprinkle it with the cornstarch.
- In a bowl, whisk together milk/water, egg, and 1 tsp salt.
- On a plate or pie dish, toss together the bread crumbs and seasonings.
- Carefully dip the strips of tofu into the dredge and let the excess drip off
- Press a dredged strip into the bread crumb and seasoning mixture.
- Turn it over and around and press the crumbs into the tofu or else it will fall off.
- Did the tofu break?
- I said be careful...
- Lay the strip on the baking sheet and repeat step six and seven until you are done and your fingers look like the Swamp Thing trying to eat Saltine crackers.
- Youll see...
- It puts the pan into the oven.
- Wait about 20 minutes then start peeking in to see what the browning looks like.

- Remove the pan from the oven.
- Turn off your oven.
- Serve the tofu sticks with your choice of sauce.
- Ta dow.
- Now go eat your dirty little tofu sticks and love them.
