These Crispy Tofu Steaks are flavorful, crispy and the perfect vegan main dish for your holiday meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package extra firm or super firm tofu, press as much water out of it as you can
- Olive oil
Panko Breading
- 1 cup panko breading
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
Batter:
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup plant based milk
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or tamari
- 3 teaspoons vegan worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Press your tofu if needed and then slice it into equal sized pieces. I usually get 6-8 slices, just depending on how thick you make them.
- Add your panko to a shallow dish and evenly mix in the seasonings.
- Add your flour, milk, soy sauce, vegan worcestershire sauce and seasonings to a bowl and whisk until combined.
- Coat the tofu with the batter: you don’t want a ton of batter on the tofu, just enough for the panko to stick, so I like to use my fingers to take the batter in my hands and just kind of rub a thin layer on the tofu.
- Then, place your tofu in the panko mixture and make sure that all sides are equally coated. I like to use my hand to press it on there well.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom with oil and then place the tofu steaks in. Let them cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove them from the pan and place them on a platter to serve.
