Buffalo Style Tofu Nuggets...yup, you heard me.

Ok, so first of all, I am fully aware that "Buffalo-Style" and tofu are usually not in the same sentence, but these are really delicious and easy to make, too. I am also fully aware that just because they are tofu does not make them any more healthier than if they were made of chicken. But they are delicious. Eat them dipped in blue cheese dressing or on a salad as I did. Anyhow, here's how to make them...

Drain a package of extra firm tofu and press it between two plates (click here to see how). Then drain it again and dice it. Place the diced tofu in a bowl and add enough Franks Hot Sauce to coat it, then also stir in a tablespoon or two of cornstarch and a bit of chopped parsley if you want added color (I also added granulated garlic and onion but these are optional). After the tofu has marinated for about 20 minutes pan-fry it in hot oil for a few minutes until crispy...simple and delicious.

By the way, I made these for staff lunch the other day and a self-proclaimed tofu hater said she really liked them. I'm jus' sayin'...

Urban Simplicity.
