Chicken Fried Tofu

I cook this recipe at least once a week either as a snack or to throw into a salad or something. My kids absolutely love it. It rarely makes it out of the pan before being eaten. And it really does taste like chicken. Some vegetarians are offended by the idea of eating something that tastes like meat. I grew up eating roast beef sandwiches in the delis of New Jersey. I am all for things that taste like what I miss but without the cruelty and killing and stuff!

  • 1 pound fresh tofu (that is the kind that you get out of the bucket in asian markets) If you can't find it get extra firm tofu in supermarket or health food store
  • 3 T. olive oil
  • Tamari
  • Nutritional Yeast (can find it in bulk in some supermarkets and healthfood stores)

Heat a non-stick pan or well seasoned cast iron pan on med high.

While oil is heating chop up tofu into bitesized chunks.

When pan is hot throw in a piece of tofu. It should sizzle on contact. Throw the rest in and stir occasionally until all the tofu is well browned. this can take up to 20 minutes. when tofu is well browned turn off heat and coat tofu with tamari. Stir it around and make sure it is well coated. Then toss in up to a cup or nutritional yeast. Stir it around until all the tofu is well coated. Taste and add more of what you need. You can also add garlic powder or savory spices. When tofu is cooled down, start shoveling it into your mouth before your kids eat it all! This is great as a snack or on a veggie ceasar salad,or a tofu salad sandwich. yum! Kids and carnivores seem to really like this recipe.
