If you enjoyed the Homemade Grilled Tofu but it wasn’t such a hit with the younger members of your family, there’s a simple way to make tofu chunks look more like the junk food that most kids love.
After pressing your tofu to remove excess liquid and cutting it into 2″ chunks, dip it into a bowl containing a beaten egg. If you don’t eat eggs, soy milk works well also. Immediately roll the chunks in seasoned bread crumbs, taking care to coat them well.
Meanwhile, heat some cooking oil in a heavy skillet. When it has reached cooking temperature, carefully place the breaded tofu chunks in the skillet. Cook until brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side until brown.
A Simple, Tasty and Nutritious Lunch
Fried tofu is less healthy than grilled tofu, but as a once-in-a-while treat it’s delicious and kids love it. You can serve fried tofu chunks just like chicken nuggets. Dip them in honey, barbecue sauce, or ketchup. Add a side of baby carrots and broccoli florets for a filling and nutritious lunch your kids will gobble up.
