Vegan Chicken-Style Tofu Cutlets

Step 1

If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Press the tofu block using a tofu press for 10 minutes. Once pressed, drain the tofu and cut into 8 slices.

Step 3

Set-up 3 shallow bowls with your breading ingredients. In the first bowl, add the flour.In the second bowl, add the water and use a whisk to dissolve your bouillon cube or bouillon base, then add the cornstarch and whisk to combine.In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.Dip each tofu slice in each bowl, one by one. First in the flour, then the water/bouillon/cornstarch, then the breadcrumbs. Coat evenly.

Step 4

Spray cooking spray evenly along the parchment paper. Place the tofu cutlets on the baking sheet. Then spray cooking spray lightly on top of the tofu slices. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Step 5

In a large pan over medium heat, melt the coconut oil. Add each slice one by one but avoid over-crowding the pan. Pan-fry each tofu slice until golden brown on the bottom, then flip over and pan-fry on the other side. Place finished cutlets on paper towels to soak up excess oil.
