Crispy Tofu Nuggets [Vegan]

Ingredients

For the Tofu Nuggets:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon raw cane sugar
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 3/4 cups unsweetened cornflakes
• 1 14-ounce block tofu
• 2 cups vegetable oil

For the Curry Ketchup:

• Juice from 1/2 lemon
• 2/3 cup tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

To Make the Vegan Tofu Nuggets:

1. Stir the flour together with the raw cane sugar, sea salt, and 6 tablespoons water until the batter is smooth. Finely crumble the cornflakes.
2. Cut the tofu into slices that are just under 1/2-inch, and then use a knife to shape the tofu into nuggets. Dip the nuggets in the batter and then coat them with the cornflakes.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a small saucepan. You’ll know the oil is hot enough if you dip a wooden toothpick into the oil and small bubbles float up to the top around the toothpick.
4. Fry the nuggets for approximately 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

To Make the Curry Ketchup:

1. Mix all of the ingredients with 3 tablespoons water. Serve with the nuggets.
