Try our our perfectly crispy and flavourful Salt and Pepper Tofu! Serve this as a main or a delicious appetiser! Your guests will be impressed! 

Ingredients
  • 230g firm tofu pressed
For the Batter:
  • 1 cup wholemeal flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • pinch of chilli flakes
  • 1/4 tsp black salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 cup soda water +1 Tbsp
Extra:
  • 1/2 cup wholemeal flour for dusting
  • oil for frying
  • 1 tsp black salt
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions

  1. Whisk the batter ingredients to a smooth consistency.

  2. Press the tofu to get all the juice out. Sometimes I skip this part and just squeeze as much water as I can without breaking the tofu. Cut into bite size pieces. 

  3. Fill a shallow fry pan about 1/4 full with oil (we used canola oil for this) and heat it up. Dip each tofu piece in the extra wholemeal flour and then dunk into the batter, then once the oil is hot, fry them for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel. Mix the salt and pepper together and sprinkle over the tofu as desired. Serve hot! Enjoy!
