Guest guest Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 British Style Fish N Chips Ingredients: * 1 cup flour * 1 cup beer (bitter or stout) * a good sprinkling of paprika * a pinch of salt and pepper * 1 pound firm tofu frozen and thawed * a whole bunch of oil * malt vinegar * frozen potato chips or 3 potatoes hewn into finger shapes Directions: A couple of hours before you eat (preferably the day before) drain your tofu. Then place the block of soy matter between a couple of sheets of paper towels. Now, place a good size book top of it. What you're doing here is getting the excess moisture out of it so it can soak up the malt vinegar. Let it squeeze for an hour or so, then place the tofu into a bowl of malt vinegar and place it in the fridge. You don't really need to cover the tofu with it, but the more the better. Let it marinade for as long as you can, preferably overnight. To make the beer batter, simply mix the equal amounts of flour and beer along with the spices. Dump a whole bunch of oil into a deep pan or wok until it's about two inches deep and heat it up on a nice hot stove burner. Cook up your chips and place them in a warm oven. While the chips are cooking take the marinated tofu out of the fridge and pat it dry. Cut it lengthwise into bars about two inches wide. When the oil's real hot, dunk the tofu bars into the batter and toss 'em in the oil one by one. Be sure they're coated thoroughly with the batter! Dump them in the oil. You can even drizzle a little more batter on them as they float. Deep fry them until the batter turns a nice golden brown, and be careful to not let them stick together. Fish them out and place them on some more paper towels. Serve right away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 This sounds great! Does freezing and thawing the tofu first change the texture or taste? Can fresh tofu be used instead?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2002 Report Share Posted April 5, 2002 It changes the texture - makes it chewier. I think fresh could be used(?) I would still drain it though. Crystal D.
