Crispy Tofu Sandwiches

Step 1

Slice the tofu into thin slices.  I was able to get 10 slices and used two slices of tofu on each sandwich.  You can slice it anyway you like.  Heat a large pan over medium heat and add about 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil.  Add tofu and cook until each side is starting to brown, about 5 minutes.  Add tamari and let cook for 30 seconds, flip and cook for about 30 more seconds.  Remove tofu and let cool for a few minutes.

Step 2

To a medium sized bowl, add the flour, milk, onion powder and garlic powder.  Mix until a batter is formed.  Pour the panko onto a large plate or shallow dish and season with a little bit of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Use your hands to coat each piece of tofu with the batter.  You only want a thin coat.  Next, place the tofu in the panko and make sure it’s completely covered.  Repeat until all the tofu is coated with batter and panko mixture.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 3-4 teaspoons olive oil.  Add tofu and let cook until each side is golden brown and crispy, about 8 minutes on each side.

Step 5

OR you can pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Place tofu on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, flipping once, 15-20 minutes.

Assemble your sandwiches and enjoy!
