Popcorn Tofu

This bite-sized tofu appetiser is the holy grail for those vegans who hanker for a crunchy, meaty and flavourful snack!
All you need is a block of tofu, spice mix of your choice, milk and breadcrumbs. This guilt-free snack can be made healthier by simply baking it out instead of deep-frying them.
These nuggets are irresistible and highly addictive just like actual popcorn!
Here’s how to make this super quick and easy popcorn tofu :

INGREDIENTS:-

• 400g tofu, cut into cubes
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika or red chilli powder
• 1 tsp mixed herbs
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 cup corn flour
• 1/2 cup plant milk, unsweetened
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS:-

1. Combine cornflour and milk in a mixing bowl to form a smooth and lump-free batter. (The consistency should be like a pancake batter.)
2. Add all the spices and herbs. Stir until well combined.
3. Dip each tofu cube into the cornflour batter and then roll in breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to coat.
4. To bake : Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet and lay down the breaded tofu bits.
   Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
   To deep-fry : Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Deep fry the tofu until golden-brown and crisp on all sides.
   Serve hot with sriracha, barbecue sauce or any other desired dipping sauce.
