Crispy Tofu

I saw a recipe for crispy pan fried tofu and I had everything on hand except the breadcrumbs. I noticed she used panko which are always so good for making fried food nice and crispy. What I did have was some sesame sticks from Trader Joes. They were going stale so I thought they would be perfect to grind up and use as breadcrumbs.  Oh my was this good!

I made a simple batter with 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 cup water seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, mushroom powder and onion powder. After whisking this together, I dropped my tofu slices in and gave them a nice coating. On a separate plate, I had the ground sesame sticks (used my mini food processor for this) and a little bit of flour to stretch it. I gave the battered tofu a nice coating of the sesame sticks and then pan fried in a good bit of sesame oil. After a few minutes on each side, they were crisp and golden brown. I removed and sprinkled with salt and ate on top of pasta. 

It's too bad I'm out of these sesame sticks because this is my new favorite way to enjoy tofu! I will have some of the leftovers in a wrap with Franks red hot and some vegan ranch. YUM.
