Kitchener Fried Tofu

Use Extra Firm Tofu - pat dry
1) Cut in 1 inch strips or smaller
2) Marinate in half soy sauce and water... Or whatever marinade you fancy. Tofu is dense so the longer you marinate it the better. 30mins-all day.
2) Roll in nutritional yeast ( found at most health food stores)... This gives it a nutty crispy taste.
3) Crisp in frying pan using 1-2tbsp of oil (I like non-gmo canola or coconut oil). Lightly pan fry until crispy on both sides.

Voila! You have KitchenerFriedTofu... Great in a sandwich, stir-fry or with a bowl of soup or as an app with a bit of soy sauce and lemon to dip!
