My latest Vegan creation....Chile Cornmeal-Crusted Tofu by Veganomicon
Corn or veggie oil for frying
1 lb. extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
1 cup soy or rice milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Slice the tofu widthwise into 8 slices, then cut each of those slices in half diagonally from the upper left corner of the lower right corner so that you have 16 long triangles. Set aside.
Combine the soy milk and cornstarch in a wide, shallow bowl. Mix vigorously with a fork until the cornstarch is mostly dissolved. In another shallow bowl, toss together the cornmeal, spices, lime zest and salt.
Frying Directions:
Heat, about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, sprinkle in a pinch of batter. When the batter sizzles and bubbles form rapidly around it, you're good to go. Dip each individual tofu slice in the soy milk mixture. Drop it into the cornmeal with your dry hand and use your other hand to dredge it in the mixture, so that it's coated on all sides. Transfer the tofu to the skillet in two batches so as not to crowd the pan. Fry tofu for 3 minutes on one side, use tongs to flip over each piece, and fry for 2 more minutes. Drain the fried tofu on a clean paper bag or paper towels.

Does everyone wear helmets these days?
Not everyone, but I for sure do. I know people who have hit their had and don't remember hours and hours of their life. I have seen it in the ER.

ReplyDeleteAs an equipment geek told me one day up boarding "Do you like your sons brain the way it is now? Then protect it". No kidding. The sport was always a bit dangerous and now it is EXTREME all the way!
I am so impressed with your vegan cooking, Stace! What did you think of the chili-corn crusted tofu? Maybe you can cook for me when you come down next? ;)
