Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 A friend of mine, inspired by the food I cook him when he visits, and intellectually urged along by reading The China Study, has decided to try going vegan for a month. He sees fish as his big hurdle to continuing the lifestyle past that introductory period. So... I would like to find him some alternative recipes/products to fill this taste. Looking in the recipe section, we have several tuna fish salad options, but I think he's referring more to things like baked haddock or what have you. There are tofu fish sticks, posted by Donna, and reposted below for reference. I have question on that particular recipe. The cornmeal does not have a step in the instructions. I imagine you simply dredge the tofu in it before baking. Anyway, any other thoughts or suggestions for recipes and/or products? Thanks, -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog Made this for lunch yesterady and all 5 of us thought they were tasty and easy to make. " Tofu fish sticks " 1 package of firm or extra firm tofu 1 tblsp kelp powder 1 cup cornmeal 1/3 Braggs Aminos or soy sauce 1 tblsp Mrs. Dash, Spike or Vegit seasoning 1/3 cup water Olive or Canola oil to coat the baking pan " Dipping Sauce " 1/2 cup mayo or vegan mayo 1 tblsp nutritional yeast flakes 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish 1 tblsp sweet pickle juice Cut tofu into long or short thin strips. Marinate in mixture of water, Braggs, seasoning and kelp powder for about 1 hour in the fridge. Combine dipping sauce ingredients in small bowl and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and use olive or canola oil to coat baking pan. Bake sticks in oven for 10 mins. Turn and bake for 10 more minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving with dipping sauce.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Erin I thought I went back in to fix that. yes, dredge the tofu in the cormeal to coat. You might like to try this recipe and see what you think. I know you like spice so I would suject if you want to make it for your friend add a good amount of seasoning like Mrs. Dash, Old Bay if you use it and a pinch of red pepper flakes. OK off to correct that recipe now.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Thanks. I made these for lunch today and they are quite good and convincing enough for this veggie of 11 years or so. Whether my friend finds them so, we'll see. I'm definitely going to blog about these. Do you mind if I post the recipe (with all due credit, of course)? -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog , Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > > Erin I thought I went back in to fix that. yes, > dredge the tofu in the cormeal to coat.
