Step 1
To make the slaw, stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Step 2
To make the marinated tofu, stir the broth, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, cumin, onion powder and garlic powder together in small bowl or liquid measuring cup.
Step 3
Take one of your blocks of tofu and cut about a third off of the end, so you're left with a square shaped block. Now slice the block in half, thickness-wise, so you have two large square slabs. Do the same for the other block of tofu.
Step 4
Place the square tofu slabs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Save the leftover end pieces for another use.
Step 5
Allow the tofu to marinade while you prepare the other ingredients, or for up to 12 hours.
Step 6
Stir the batter ingredients together in a small bowl.
Step 7
Stir the flour mixture ingredients together in another small bowl.
Step 8
Add the oil to a medium skillet (preferably cast iron). You want it to be about a half inch deep. Place the skillet over medium heat. Give the oil a few minutes to heat up.
Step 9
When the oil begins to shimmer, grab one of your tofu slabs and dredge it in the flour mixture. Transfer it to the batter and dip both sides to coat. Then dip it back in the flour mixture and cover it with a second coat.
Step 10
Place the tofu slab in the skillet. You can coat and cook a few more slabs at the same time, but be sure not to crowd them.
Step 11
Cook the tofu for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
Step 12
Transfer the cooked tofu to a paper towel lined plate.
Step 13
Repeat the process until all of the tofu slabs are cooked.
Step 14
Stuff the tofu into buns and top with slaw, and any other toppings of choice.
Step 15
Serve.
