Tofu Nuggets

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped green onion, flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Add Tofu

    Gently fold the tofu cubes into the vegetable mixture until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Shape the Nuggets

    Using your hands, form the mixture into nugget shapes, about 1 inch thick.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  6. 6

    Fry the Nuggets

    Carefully add the nuggets to the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the nuggets from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with Mikuni aioli sauce.
