These were so good, i tried an experiment afterwards, since the kitchen was already a bit messy.. i took a pack of extra firm tofu from the freezer yesterday, i cut it open, squeezed all the water out i could, put it in the bowl with the same ingredients as your f*sh sticks, and let it marinate for 30 minutes or so... then in another bowl i made a very thick slurry with about 1/3 cup corn starch and 2 T soy, and a couple drops of liquid smoke (i'm on a smoked tofu kick lately) and some pepper and some kombu powder I made small patties with the tofu mixture, squeezing out as much of the liquid as i could, then dunked those in the slurry, then i dunked them in a corn meal / flour mixture and pan fried them in a small pan (so the oil came up about 1/2 the height of the patties It was almost just like battered salmon patties - in fact i flinched a little because it was so much like the real thing - they were very good though, so thanks! --- On Wed, 11/26/08, thelilacflower@ <thelilacflower@ > wrote: thelilacflower@ <thelilacflower@ > Re: [vegetarian_ group] Review Donna's Tofu Fish Sticks " Vegetarian_ group " <> Wednesday, November 26, 2008, 2:02 AM Pete thank yopu for the review. Those are so tasty even kids like them. You know how kids like to dip their food. My younger nephew would only eat them with ketchup.

First time i got too experimental with the spices This time I used half Mrs. Dash spicy and half Old Bay and the sauce is great too, tonight is the first time I tried it. I had Tofu f*sh sticks, roasted beets with onion and vegan mac & cheese and some iced barley tea Thanks donna!
