Breaded Tofu Strips

This post is sponsored by ADM, but all opinions are my own.

For the longest time, even after I had been vegetarian for a few years, I thought I didn’t like tofu. Turns out that I simply didn’t know how to prepare it. Now that I’ve tried it in different ways over the years, I super love it! Tofu is such a versatile plant-based protein option that can be dressed up with lots of other ingredients like in a tofu scramble, or it can be used in a plain and simple recipe like this one. Both ways are delicious! Soy protein is also one of the few plant-based proteins that is comparable with animal protein, providing all the amino acid building blocks at levels and the availability needed by the body.

These Breaded Tofu Strips are always a hit with my friends – omnivorous and vegan alike. You can dip them in ketchup, bbq sauce, or even cut the tofu into cubes before breading and add them on top of a salad.

Like the tofu itself, this recipe is versatile!
