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.

If you thought that risotto was about slaving over a hot stove, drizzling stock into a pan over the course of an hour, think again. This risotto is quick, easy and satisfying. Plus you can fry whatever vegetable is in season to put on the top. Making risotto just became an easy choice.

Here in Texas, the land of cattle and roughly 130 million acres of ranchland, buttermilk flows thick and heavy-not from their livestock (Texans are in the beef business), but rather into their mixing bowls.
It's hard to fathom it, but the loud and proud thrumming of the Louisiana we walk today is but a fraction of what came before.
