I wanted to show you another way to serve breaded tofu that I absolutely love 😍. We eat tacos really often at our place, as you may have noticed... Here, it’s super simple: a cabbage salad, tarragon leaves, breaded tofu, and the sauces of your choice. You can also add cucumber, tomato, or a leaf of lettuce... For the sauces, I couldn't decide 😅. So I made: - A sour cream (just soy cream thickened with lemon juice) mixed with Buffalo sauce from @bumblebloomvegan - A fresh tarragon mayo - A homemade barbecue sauce

Steps

Tear the tofu into large chunks. Mix it with sesame oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and nutritional yeast.
In a skillet, heat the margarine. Cook the tofu in it until it is golden on all sides.
Crush the corn flakes coarsely.
Mix the flour with 1/2 cup (125 mL) of water. Pour this mixture over the tofu nuggets to coat them. Dip each one in the corn flakes to bread them.
Fry the breaded tofu nuggets either in a pan with neutral oil, in a deep fryer, or in an air fryer, until all the breading is golden.
In the meantime, prepare the coleslaw: finely slice the cabbage and mix it with the mayonnaise.
Top the tacos with coleslaw, breaded tofu, and your choice of sauces (sour cream, barbecue sauce, herb sauce, hot sauces, buffalo sauce...).
