Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Buffalo Tofu Wings.
Step 1
Start by slicing the tofu into six equal pieces and laying them flat on a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Gently fold the towel over the tofu to cover it completely, then place a baking sheet on top and add a weight of 3 to 5 pounds.
Step 3
This will help press the tofu for about 30 minutes, allowing it to release excess moisture and become firmer for frying.
Step 4
While the tofu is pressing, take a shallow bowl and mix together cornstarch, flour, bouillon granules, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a flavorful coating.
Step 5
In another bowl, pour in some soy milk, which will help the coating stick.
Step 6
After the tofu has been pressed, cut each slice in half to create 12 delightful 'wings.
Step 7
' Dip each piece into the soy milk, ensuring itβs well-coated, then roll it in the cornstarch mixture until itβs fully covered.
Step 8
Place the coated tofu on a plate, ready for frying.
Step 9
Next, heat canola oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Step 10
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated tofu pieces.
Step 11
Fry them for about 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown on all sides.
Step 12
When they reach that perfect crunch, pour in your favorite hot sauce and melted margarine, stirring well to coat each tofu wing evenly with the spicy goodness.
Step 13
Enjoy your deliciously crispy tofu wings, perfect for snacking or as a tasty addition to any meal!.
