This dish makes and excellent Appetizer, Snack or Main Dish. It's

also a great introduction into the vegan world, if you want to

convert kids or meat-eaters to a healthier lifestyle. They taste

great with sauces & dips or by themselves. You need to make a lot

though. When I make them, they only last for a few minutes. You

might want to double or triple this batch.

 

 

three 14 ounce (400 g) packages extra firm tofu

1/4 cup GF soy sauce

1 cup cold water

2 tablespoons (6 tsp) cornstarch (cornflour)

2 tablespoons (30 ml) balsamic vinegar

3 1/2 ounces (100 g) GF breadcrumbs

2 teaspoons garlic granules

1 tablespoon (3 tsp) poultry seasoning

1 teaspoon sea salt

 

 

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F (230 C).

Coat 1 cookie sheet with non-stick spray.

Get a wide shallow microwavable bowl and put the soy sauce,

cornstarch, vinegar & water in it and whisk it until it's smooth.

Place it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and then whisk it again.

It should be a sauce like consistency, not too thick, not too thin.

Now get another wide shallow bowl and put the panko crumbs, garlic

granules, poultry seasoning & sea salt in it.

Drain the packages of tofu and cut into strips the size and length

of a finger. There should be 8 strips to a package of tofu.

Use the Wet Hand-Dry Hand method of soaking the tofu strips into the

wet mixture of soy sauce and corn starch with your wet hand, then

placing them one or two at a time into the crumbs and coating them

with your dry hand.

Place the strips onto the cookie sheet and place them in the oven.

Cook for approximately 10 to 15 minutes and then turn the oven heat

off and let them sit in there to dry out and stiffen up to your

likeness.

Cut these strips in half if you'd like to make more of them. Serve

and enjoy!
