Do you like spicey things?

This dish is for the ex-meateater who misses their hot spicey chicken wings. Now don't worry it isn't made with chicken. This recipe uses tofu as the other white meat :) and it's yummy and healthier to eat.



Buffalo Tofu "Wings"

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

12 ounce block of extra firm tofu
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon "chicken style" boullion granules
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup plain, unsweetened soy milk
1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce
1/3 cup margarine, melted

Directions:

Slice tofu block into 6 slices. Lay flat onto a clean kitchen towel on counter. Fold towel over so the slices are completely covered. Lay cookie sheet over and place a weight over them. I use several dinner plates. This is the easiest method for pressing the tofu. Meanwhile, combine the dry ingredients into a shallow bowl. After the tofu has pressed for 30 minutes, cut each slice in half. You should have 12 "wings". Dip each slice in soymilk and then the breading mixture and set on a plate. When they are coated, place them in a hot frying pan with the canola oil. Fry until all sides are crispy. Pour in the margarine and hot sauce mixture into the frying pan. Serve with a vegan dressing.

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 30 minutes
