I made these last night. They are easy and yum!





Tofu Fish Fillets


Serve these tasty cutlets with a dollop of tartare sauce or hot sauce or use them to make extraordinary sandwiches.


500g firm/hard tofu


Egg replacer equivalent to 1 egg (1 tbsp arrowroot, 2 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp soy milk 1 tsp lecithin 鈥?mix together till smooth)


2 Tbsp. soy sauce


1/4 cup wheat germ or flaxseed meal or breadcrumbs


1/4 cup polenta/cornmeal


3 tbsp nori (seaweed), toasted and crumbled (or 2 teaspoons dulse flakes/powder)


1/4 tsp. paprika


1/4 tsp. dried mixed herbs


1 tsp lemon pepper (optional)


Oil for frying (about 4 tablespoons)





Cut the tofu into 陆 inch thick slices. Wrap the slices in thick paper towels (or a clean tea towel to save paper) and pat to remove excess moisture.





Beat the egg replacer and soy sauce together in a small bowl. Combine the wheat germ/flax meal/breadcrumbs, polenta, nori, paprika, and herbs on a plate. I usually whizz these with my hand blender to make it a fine blend.





Heat the oil in a large frypan. Dip each slice of tofu into the egg replacer mixture, then coat both sides in the polenta mixture. Fry the slices until golden brown on both sides. Place on absorbent paper. Serve with tartare sauce and a salad.
