Veggie chicken nuggets – crunchy & delicious crust
The crunchy crust is made out of cornflakes and is full of flavor – try it and you will never want to use any other type of crust. It is important to use cornflakes without any sugar for this recipe – check the ingredients on the package, before buying. Crush cornflakes in a blender – crush properly the pieces should not be too big – if the cornflake pieces for the crust are too big, they would not stick to the tofu. Marinate tofu before dipping it into the crust and frying – I use a zip bag to do it. It is perfect, because it can be closed properly and tofu can be mixed in marinate from time to time without marinate pouring out of the bag.
For delicious dip with veggie chicken nuggets – check my guacamole recipe. It is quick, full of flavor and very easy to make. Or a bean dip with sundried tomatoes – incredibly tasty and easy to make.

Tips
*You can use any cornflakes you like, but if you care about your nutricion, I would suggest checking the ingredients and choosing cornflakes without added sugar.
*The best is to roll tofu into cornstarch, egg and crushed cornflakes with two forks. This way the ingredients will not stick to your fingers.
