Tofu en Adobo (Fish n' Chips style Tofu)
A vegan and gluten-free version of fish n' chips style fish.
Servings 2
Ingredients
For the marinade...
- 2 Tbsp kelp powder or dulse flakes
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 Tbsp gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- 1 Tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed and skinless (or I use 2 tsp, minced)
Everything else...
- 1 block extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 1/4 cup (approx.) cornstarch
- olive oil, for cooking
- lemon slices for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together marinade ingredients.
- Slice the tofu into 10 to 12 thin strips and lay them side-by-side in a dish for marinating, something they'll fit snuggly in (I used a medium-sized baking dish). Pour the marinade over the tofu and let sit for 1 hour. Flip the tofu and let it marinate for 1 more hour on the opposite side.
- When the tofu is done marinating, you will next coat it in the cornstarch. You can put the cornstarch on a plate and flip the tofu slices in it, covering each side. Alternatively, you can lay the tofu out and lightly sift the cornstarch over each side.
- Heat a large skillet with a little oil and fry the tofu on each side until golden brown.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately with lemon slices.
