Ingredients

  • 280 grams of tofoo
  • 0.25 cups of cornflour (40g)
  • 2 teaspoons of onion granules (or halve for powder)
  • 2 teaspoons of garlic granules
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (can increase / decrease for more / less spiciness)
  • 1 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons of pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • 0.75 cups of panko breadcrumbs

Method

  1. Drain the tofu and cut into medium chunks, either 18 or 27
  2. Get 3 tubs or bowls, small tupperware / takeaway containers work well
  3. In the first tub mix the cornflour, onion granules, garlic granules, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and pepper
  4. In the second tub, add the whisked eggs and water
  5. In the third tub, add the panko breadcrumbs (can do a few and top up as needed)
  6. For each tofu cube, toss and coat well in each tub in turn (spices, then eggwash, then breadcrumbs) and then put on the side on a plate
  7. Once all the tofu is done, heat a good amount of sunflower oil in a frying pan on a reasonably high heat
  8. Fry as many tofu as will fit in the frying pan, turning regularly, it may require batches, keep done ones warm in the oven
  9. Enjoy with some egg fried rice and a tomato based sauce!
