I’m a long-time tofu lover and when it comes to cooking it, I’ve tried it all. Baking, frying, grilling, shredding, slicing, crumbling . . . the list goes on. So, believe me when I say this is one of the best.
Baked popcorn tofu is so moreish. It can be served with vegan mayo, enjoyed in tacos, added to curry, or tossed into a stir-fry. You simply can’t go wrong.
INGREDIENTS
METHOD
1 Preheat oven to 200°C fan-bake.
2 In a medium-sized bowl, mix together all crumb ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
3 Put oat milk into a small bowl. Dip tofu cubes into oat milk, then roll in the crumb to coat.
4 Place crumbed tofu on an oven tray and drizzle with olive oil.
5 Bake for 20 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
6 Serve with vegan mayo.
TIP
Squeezing the liquid out of the tofu prior to cooking will help it absorb the oat milk and crumb, making for crunchier popcorn bites.
