Crispy Baked Tofu Fingers/Nuggets (Low Fat)
- 1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu
- 13 cup tamari or 13 cup soy sauce
- 13 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin or 2 tablespoons white vinegar, sweetened with
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 (5 ounce) package Shake-n-Bake, original flavour
- nonstick cooking spray
- Wisk together tamari (or soy sauce), teriyaki, and mirin (or vinegar/sugar) Set aside.
- Cut tofu into 1/2 inch slices and then each slice into half lengthwise to get "fingers."
- If making "nuggets", cut tofu into 1 inch cubes.
- Place cubes or fingers into tamari marinade and place in fridge for at least an hour.
- (the longer you leave it, the more intense the flavour -- sometimes I make this ahead the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight)
- After marinating, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove tofu from marinade and shake off excess marinade.
- Place Shake 'n Bake mix in shallow dish or plate and coat each piece of tofu with the crumbs making sure to coat all sides.
- (press the tofu down into the mix to make sure it sticks well)
- Place breaded tofu on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray and bake in oven for 10 minutes, flip tofu, then bake another 10 or until golden and crispy.
- Serve with BBQ sauce, ranch, marinara, teriyaki or any other sauce you desire!
- :).
