This recipe for extremely-chicken-like buffalo tofu is made for one. Don’t feel the need to share if you don’t want to. This Vegan Buffalo “Chicken” is glorious and it’s made just for you!

yay!! I'm so happy for you! Btw, another viewer mentioned to me that he used Trader Joe's Organic Tofu (magenta label) and it WORKS! It does not have an additional "firmness" indicated on the label (so not the firm/extra firm). Hope that helps for next time.

Dear friend, Thanks a lot. I will request you to add some oil before baking it. It will remain moist. You can make another recipe called as salad with this toffu. You break in pieces, add tomato, onion, cucumber , cabbage, oil, vinegar, black pepper, salt and other ingredients of your choice. For commercial purposes, don't make salad at once, keep cutting separately, mix everything only when needed, because salad releases water, which can spoil test of recipe. Fill it inside long bread and give people to eat. Another recipe is sandwiche bread . you take sandwiche bread, you break in toffu in the pieces, add some cabbage, tomato sauce , sprinkle some black pepper, fewer drops of oil and salt. Put in sandwiches toaster, you will have delicious sandwiches . Namh shivay.

@marystestkitchen 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing your salad and sandwich ideas! Actually for this recipe, the first bake without oil is to set the coating. It's much better if you put it in *without* oil at first; the short time does not dry out marinated tofu. The second round of baking includes oil which crisps up the coating.

Another great recipe! Mary, which convection oven did you get? I want one. I seldom use my oven anymore. I use my NuWave as often as possible, but there is very little room on the racks, and if you use both racks at the same time, of course, the food on the bottom rack doesn’t get cooked thoroughly, if at all. And, you mentioned onion rings. I had no mix for batter one night, so I used blueberry pancake mix.

@marystestkitchen 4 жыл бұрын

The one I have was gifted; a toshiba microwave/convection oven. TBH, I'd rather get a Breville/Cuisineart combo air fryer next time. Blueberry pancakes mix for onion ring batter? Now that's creative!
