Instructions
 

Tofu Tenders

  • Cut the block of tofu into 4 filets. Cut each filet in half lengthwise. Carve each filet into a chicken tender type shape. Use the scraps in a Tofu Scramble.
  • Make the marinade by combining all the ingredients in a bowl, then marinate the tenders in it for about 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • In a pan over medium heat, grill the tenders for about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and let them cool.
  • Prepare the dry and wet dredges by mixing all the ingredients respectively in separate bowls / containers.
  • Fill up a dutch oven or large skillet with a neutral high smoke point oil (such as peanut, canola or vegetable). You just need enough oil to cover the tenders, so about 3 inches worth. Heat to 375 F (I highly recommend using a thermometer).
  • Dredge each tender first in the dry mixture, then wet, and then back into the dry. Shake off the excess each time you dredge it and make sure you thoroughly coat it. If you want to double dredge for a thicker breading, start in the wet, then they dry, and then repeat. You may need to adjust and increase the wet mixture if you go this route!
  • Protip: Fry up a nugget sized piece before you fry the bigger fillets to test out the seasoning of the breading and adjust if needed!
  • Once the tenders are coated and the oil is up to temperature, carefully add them to the pot. Don't overcrowd, I would say do 4 - 5 at a time maximum. The oil temperature will drop but as long as it stays above 350 F you should be fine.
  • Fry them for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and beautiful. Let them rest on a wire rack to cool for a couple minutes.

Snack Wrap Assembly

  • Warm up the tortilla either on a stovetop or in a microwave. Add some shredded lettuce, 2 of the tenders, some shredded vegan cheese and then some Vegan Honey Mustard, Ranch or BBQ Sauce. Fold it up and enjoy!

Notes

*I recommend using Super Firm Tofu, the kind that's vacuum packed. If you can only find Extra Firm, you'll need to press it for at least 30 minutes to get rid of the excess water.
