If you think tofu is boring, then clearly you haven’t tried this spicy fried “chicken” sandwich. In this vegetarian star, we replicated spicy fried chicken with protein-packed tofu and added cornmeal to the batter for extra crunch. Served with a homemade vegan garlic mayo, lettuce, and bread and butter pickles, this sandwich is crunchy, spicy, creamy, and tart; basically, it’s everything you could want in a meatless fried “chicken” sandwich.
If you’re looking for a texture similar to chicken, don’t skip the freezing step. When tofu freezes, the texture transforms from firm and crumbly to chewy and meat-like. Whether you freeze your tofu or not, make sure to drain the tofu well between paper towels before breading it; too much water prevents the batter from turning crispy and golden.
