Fish Sticks
I was craving some fish and chips this weekend. Being somebody who does not eat fish, I needed to find an alternative. Using nori, you get that seafood taste. You also get tons of health benefits from the nori sheets. These are a bit tedious to make, but the end result is worth the time it takes to roll each piece of tofu. Enjoy!
Estimated Cost Per Serving: $.75
Vegan Fish Sticks with Tofu
Ingredients
- 1 block of extra-firm tofu drained and pressed
- 4 nori sheets
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour divided
- 1 cup of plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon of old bay seasoning
- ½ teaspoon of onion powder
- ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 cup of panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut the tofu block in half lengthwise, then cut the two pieces in half lengthwise again.
- Cut nori sheets in half lengthwise. Then cut the sheet into thirds. You should end up with 6 pieces of nori per sheet.
- Place tofu strip on top of nori piece. Roll, and seal. You can seal the nori by dipping your fingers in a bowl of water and running your wet finger across the seam.
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup of flour, plant-based milk, old bay seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder. On a plate, stir together and spread out 1 cup of bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- On another plate spread out ½ cup of flour. Take the nori-covered tofu strips and roll them on the plate with flour.
- Next, dip the tofu strips in the flour and milk mixture. Now roll the dipped tofu piece in the bread crumbs and salt. Place pieces on a nonstick or cooking spray-covered baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the pieces have become crispy. Remove from the oven and serve with ketchup, or a plant-based tartar sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to use drained and pressed tofu to make this recipe
- Panko breadcrumbs are the best option for a nice crispy outside.
- Don’t skip the nori if you want that classic fish flavor.
