How to Make Tofu Fish Or Not Fish
- Cut the block of extra-firm tofu into 1-inch thick slices.
- Wrap the tofu slices in thick paper towels and press firmly to remove excess moisture. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of egg replacer (Bob's Red Mill or similar) and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup wheat germ/flax meal blend (or 1/4 cup each), 1/2 cup polenta, 1 tablespoon finely chopped nori, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon dried herbs (Italian blend recommended).
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick frypan over medium-high heat.
- Dip each tofu slice into the egg replacer mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge both sides in the polenta mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Carefully place the coated tofu slices in the hot frypan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the tofu from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle with lemon pepper to taste and serve immediately with tartar sauce.
