Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Ok, here's the recipe for the Tofu Nuggets; keep in mind we found them rather bland but some spices or herbs should liven it up. The texture was really nice. Very satisfying. Just ended up using more dipping sauce than we'd have prefered to give flavor. Cindi Tofu Nuggets 1/2 cup wheat germ 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (heaping) 1/8 teaspoon pepper and some salt to taste Dipping sauce 1 pound firm tofu, frozen and then thawed, and cut into 1 inch cubes Drain your tofu slightly, then wrap tightly and place in freezer until solid. Thaw before using. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet or spray with a nonstick cooking spray. Place tofu cubes between layers of toweling and gently squeeze out excess water. In a shallow bowl, combine wheat germ and spices, mixing well. Fill a small bowl with water. Dip each piece of tofu first into bowl of water, then shake off excess water and roll in wheat germ. Gently press wheat germ onto tofu with the back of a spoon. Place nuggets on prepared baking sheet. Back 25 to 30 minutes, until crisp. Makes 4 servings.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 GREAT!!! This sounds simple to do and I do have several of my salt free spice combos that I could try with this too. I am thinking that a mexican kick would be good.

Since we don't like tofu I'm thinking of trying to make my own seitan sometime, but need to find some wheat gluten first. My boys love the Morningstar Farms fake chicken nuggets, I like how they taste but don't like all the additives and the price!
