Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons tamari sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess water. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel, and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the tamari sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour this marinade over the tofu cubes, tossing gently to ensure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the coconut flour over the marinated tofu cubes. Gently toss to coat the tofu evenly with the flour, ensuring a light dusting on all sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Carefully place the tofu cubes in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Once cooked, remove the tofu cubes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried tofu cubes warm as a delicious snack or add them to salads, stir-fries, or your favorite low-carb dishes.
