Absolute hit with the kids. They said it was restaurant quality! Thank you for another brilliant recipe Alison. We shall be adding it to our regulars. Side note if you don’t have panko breadcrumbs in stock – blitz some bread in a food processor and lightly toast on a tray in the oven. Worked a treat.

I don’t recall ever leaving a recipe rating on a blog before but this is worth it! This is hands down the best tofu main course I’ve ever eaten. To be fair, I haven’t tried a ton of recipes online, but out of all the ways I’ve prepared it or had it in restaurants, this is the most tasty and satisfying. The only other tofu recipe I’ve enjoyed is a chocolate tofu mousse dessert, but that doesn’t fall into this meal category. 🙂

I didn’t have cornflakes, so I just used extra panko breadcrumbs, and I used Italian Seasoning instead of chicken seasoning, and it turned out great! I want to try the breading with cornflakes next time to see how it ups the crunch ante. 😀

It’s a little time-consuming to make, but totally worth it and I had lots of leftovers. To reheat, I microwaved for about 30 seconds to get the insides hot, then put them in my convection toaster oven at 350 for about 10 mins, and they were absolutely perfect every time! It only took about 5 pieces to totally fill me up. I even found myself craving it and looking forward to having it at my next meal, which I NEVER do with tofu. And for all those people who say tofu absorbs flavors, that’s B.S. in my experience. I’ve never found tofu to be flavorful except for what I put on top of it. Until this recipe, I’ve only eaten it for the protein, but that’s all changed now!

I wasn’t a fan of the yum-yum sauce — too much like Thousand Island dressing for me, minus the little pickle pieces — but BBQ sauce, vegan ranch dressing, and mustard were all fantastic on these little nuggets. I’ll bet buffalo sauce would be great, too.

I’m excited to try more of your recipes, Alison. I’m not 100% vegan but close. I don’t eat much meat but I do miss the flavor, so anything that comes close and is still nutritious is awesome. This recipe totally knocked it out of the park for me!

In reply to Lydia Mazzullo. Hi Lydia, yes you could use extra panko instead of cornflakes. :)

Alison, if I don’t have cornflakes, could I just use extra panko? Thanks, Lydia

Looks like another scrumptious recipe! Will definitely try it with gluten free flour and breadcrumbs. I’m sure that would work out fine?

I’m excited to try these! I usually only have extra firm tofu on hand unless I go out and get some firm or soft etc. for a specific recipe. Will extra firm work still?
