Description

Ingredients

• 1 (15-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
• 1/2 cup quinoa flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste if desired
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or soy milk
• Approx. 1/4 cup vegetable oil or your favorite oil for frying
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (to taste)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Directions

• Place a sturdy skillet (I like cast iron) over medium heat. Fill with oil to about 1/4 inch high.
• Cut the tofu into 16 triangles. To do so, first slice the tofu in half width-wise, then stack the squares back together and cut a + sign in the top for four equal squares. Then cut each square in half diagonally to make triangles.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the quinoa flour, cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
• Pour the almond milk or soy milk into another bowl.
• When the oil is hot, its time to start cooking! Dip each tofu triangle in milk, then place it in the bowl with the flour, dredging so that its covered on every side with the flour mixture. Drop immediately into the skillet and repeat with the remaining pieces of tofu. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain and cool. Sprinkle with a little additional salt if desired.
• While the tofu is cooling, make the dipping sauce. Serve tofu with dipping sauce alongside.
• Add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
