Ingredients
- 2 blocks tofu (400g each)
For Marinade
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 nori sheets (shredded)
- 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp caper brine
- ½ lemon Juice
- Salt to taste
- 3 cups green peas
For Coating
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 cups whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
Vegan Tartar Sauce
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 lemon Juice
- 1.5 tbsp dried dill
- ½ small clove garlic grated
- 2 tbsp chopped capers
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the fries
- 6 Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Press your tofu to remove the liquid so it can absorb the marinade.
- Slice your tofu into your desired size and shape. I like to cut mine into ‘fish’ shapes. I got 6 ‘fish filets’ out of 2 blocks of tofu.
- Make very shallow slices onto both sides of the tofu to absorb that delicious marinade and to make it look more like fish!
- Make the marinade in a container big enough to fit the tofu slices. Add everything together and mix well to combine.
- Add the tofu to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight. Do not discard the marinade.
- Add your whole wheat flour, salt, and pepper to one bowl and your breadcrumbs to another.
- Dunk your tofu into your whole wheat flour, then dunk it briefly back into the marinade, then coat it in breadcrumbs.
- Air fry your tofu at 400f for 10-12 minutes or until crispy.
- Make your tartar sauce by mixing together all of the ingredients in a bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- To make your fries slice them into thin slices. Add them to a bowl and toss in cornstarch, salt and pepper. Bake at 400f for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through or air fry at 400f for 15-20 minutes.
- Steam or boil your green peas.
- Serve with your fries, green peas, tofu fish, and vegan tartar sauce, and enjoy!
