Vegan Tofu Fish and Chips | Vegan Fish Recipes | Tofu Mastery Lesson # 19

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

plant-based milk

🥗Healthier: oat milk

💰Cheaper: soy milk

Soy milk is often less expensive and still creamy.

tartar sauce

🥗Healthier: avocado dip

💰Cheaper: yogurt-based sauce

Yogurt-based sauce is lighter and cheaper.

seaweed

🥗Healthier: spirulina powder

💰Cheaper: dried nori sheets

Dried nori sheets are more accessible.

Cut tofu into four steaks, making diagonal slits without cutting all the way through.

Cut nori into pieces roughly the same shape as the tofu steaks.

Season the tofu with lemon juice, salt, freshly ground pepper, and garlic powder, rubbing it into the slits.

Insert nori strips into the slits of the tofu.

Let the seasoned tofu sit while preparing the batter.

In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, and turmeric powder.

Gradually add cold beer or seltzer to the dry mixture until it reaches a pancake batter consistency.

Heat neutral oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Carefully dip each piece of tofu in the batter, ensuring the nori stays on top.

Fry the battered tofu until golden and crispy, flipping once for even cooking.

Remove the tofu and let it rest on a rack to maintain crispiness.
