Tofu chicken nuggets!


This recipe came from compassion over killing as well.  The thing to remember with this one, is that the tofu needs to be frozen before you start.  I dried out the tofu before freezing it, but after I microwaved it to defrost it, it was soaking! So have lots of paper towels or a few soft towels ready.  It only takes about 5 minutes in the microwave.

After the defrosting, dip in water, then dip in the bread crumb mix. Pretty easy! Bake for 30min on a cookie sheet.

While they were baking a sauteed some mushrooms and scallions just for kicks to put on top of the brown rice.  

To make it fun, I heated some pre-made orange chicken sauce and drizzled on top of the cubes. Ba M!

Prep time:  15 min
Cook time: 35 minutes
Taste rating: Em-8  Joey- 6 
Dirty dishes: minimal

Next time, I'll probably use a teriyaki marinade or sauce instead of the orange sauce- it was a bit on the sweet side.
