Sub-Title: This easy and delicious vegan tofu tempura is made using simple ingredients and a secret sauce that will transport you back to Japan!
Description: Inspired by traditional Japanese tempura, this delightful dish features crunchy and fluffy tofu pieces coated in a light and savory batter. It’s perfect for anyone who loves tofu and craves a taste of authentic Japanese food.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup whole wheat gluten free flour (or all purpose flour)
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons soy milk (or any non-dairy alternative)
– 1/4 cup water
– 1 package silken tofu (1 pound), drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
– 1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
Instructions:
1. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir together until thoroughly mixed.
2. Whisk the soy milk and water together in another small bowl to create a thin liquid mixture.
3. Place the tofu cubes on a plate and carefully press down on each cube with your fingers to release moisture. Set aside.
4. Heat a wok or deep frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the pan and swirl gently to coat the bottom.
5. Carefully drop the tofu cubes into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels. Repeat with remaining tofu cubes.
6. Return the empty pan to the stove top over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat slightly if necessary. Pour the batter mix into the pan and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or chopsticks until thickened and smooth, about 1 minute.
7. Immediately turn off the heat and pour the batter evenly onto the tofu cubes in the pan, being careful not to let the batter touch the edges. Use a fork or chopsticks to help distribute the batter evenly across the tofu cubes.
8. Using a rubber spatula, lift up the tofu cubes with their surrounding batter, and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. Let rest for a few seconds before serving.
