Ingredients
  

  • 200 g tofu
  • 5 g oil

Tofu marinade:

  • 60 g ketchup
  • 5 g soy sauce
  • 15 g dijon mustard
  • 8 g maple syrup
  • ½ tsp curry
  • 3 g salt

For crust:

  • 1 egg
  • 50 g cornstarch
  • 60 g cornflakes*

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients for the marinade: 60 g of ketchup, 5g of soy sauce, 15 g of dijon mustard, 8 g of maple syrup, ½ tsp curry, 3 g of salt. Pour the marinade into the zip lock bag, cut 200 g of tofu into pieces and put into the bag. Leave tofu in the marinade bag for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Crush 60 g of cornflakes*. The best way to do it, is to put them into a zip lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. To stick properly to nuggets, the cornflakes should be crushed into really small pieces. Arrange the breading ingredients:
  • Bowl 1: 50 g of cornstarch on a plate
    Bowl 2: 60 g cornflakes*
    Bowl 3: 1 egg
  • Take tofu pieces out of the marinade and prepare the crust:
  • 1) first roll in starch
    2) then in the egg
    3) and finally in crushed cornflakes
  • Grease a frying pan with 5 g of oil, fry over medium heat on all sides
