Tofu Bites
Tofu Bites
I always have a package or two of firm tofu in my freezer, so a perfect replacement for beef or chicken in any recipe is just a quick thaw away. Freezing it is an easy way to give tofu the texture people crave. This recipe makes a great finger food that children love. Easy, delicious, and a terrific way to get soy into your diet.
Freezing completely alters the texture of tofu. To use, simply thaw and gently squeeze out the liquid. Your tofu is now ready to use. Marinate, grill, fry, batter dip, or use in place of cheese; the choice is yours.
Ingredients:
Tofu, frozen, then thawed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 (or more) T. soy or tamari sauce
2 (or more) T. nutritional yeast
To prepare:
Fry tofu in oil, drain on paper towels, then toss with soy or tamari sauce and nutritional yeast.

These are great. I also like the tempeh bites – I added some large flake nutritional yeast to mine, just rolled them in it – fantastic. Easy to make, delicious to eat – what could be better?

I’ve made these twice, but still haven’t gotten it right… I thought it would still work with tofu that hasn’t been frozen, but boy was I wrong! I’ll try it again with it frozen and see if it works
