Amazing Tofu Parmesan image

I have been a vegetarian for only 2 months now and wanted to find a recipe that would make tofu taste good! After looking at many recipes I came up with this which combines what I think are the best parts of many recipes. I didn't measure the ingredients so I will give estimates here which will work but feel free to adjust to your personal taste. This really is a special recipe in my opinion that even meat lovers will enjoy.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

350 g extra firm tofu (I buy organic)
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes
24 ounces of your favourite spaghetti sauce (or homemade)
1/2 cup canola oil (for frying tofu)
1 cup mozzarella cheese (or whatever kind you like)
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cut tofu into 1/4 inch slices. Lay out slices between several layers of paper towels or clean tea towels. Place a cutting board or other flat surface on top with some weight on it to draw the moisture out. Press for about 30 minutes.
  • Mix the soy sauce, olive oil and garlic together and place the drained tofu slices to marinate for a couple of minutes,.
  • In a shallow dish combine the flour and nutritional yeast. Dip each tofu slice in the egg and then coat in the flour/yeast.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook tofu slices on both sides until crispy golden.
  • Place a thin layer of sauce in an 8 inch square baking pan. Arrange tofu slices in the pan. Spoon remaining sauce over tofu, top with shredded mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
  • Serve with a crisp salad or pasta.
