Follow The Directions
01
StepPress the Tofu: Slice the tofu into 6 equal slices. Lay the slices flat between clean kitchen towels. Place a baking sheet on top and weigh it down with a 3- to 5-pound weight. Press for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. (Time: 30 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the Dredging Station: In a shallow bowl, combine the cornstarch, flour, bouillon granules, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. In a separate bowl, pour the soy milk. (Time: 5 minutes)
03
StepCoat the Tofu: Cut each tofu slice in half to create 12 'wings'. Dip each 'wing' in the soy milk, then thoroughly coat it in the cornstarch mixture, ensuring every surface is covered. Place the coated tofu pieces on a clean plate. (Time: 10 minutes)
04
StepFry to Crispy Perfection: Heat the canola oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully add the coated tofu slices to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the tofu, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy on all sides, approximately 7 to 10 minutes total. (Time: 7-10 minutes)
05
StepBuffalo Glaze: Add the hot sauce and melted margarine to the saucepan. Stir gently to coat the fried tofu 'wings' evenly in the buffalo sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly and adhere to the tofu. (Time: 2 minutes)
