Ingredients
- 1 block super-firm tofu
- spray oil
Marinade
- 1 cup vegetable stock, unsalted
- ½ cup dill pickle juice
- ⅓ cup tamari
- 3 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
Batter
- ½ cup corn starch
- ¼ cup gluten-free measure-for-measure flour (OR: all-purpose flour for non-gluten-free)
- 3 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- several cracks fresh cracked black pepper
- ½ cup unsweetened soy milk (OR: unsweetened, unflavored milk of choice)
To Serve
- ¾ cup vegan buffalo wing sauce (OR: sauce of choice)
- ¼ cup vegan ranch (OR: dipping sauce of choice)
Instructions
- Slice the tofu lengthwise into two flat, wide pieces and press for 15-30 minutes.
- While the tofu is pressing, combine all marinade ingredients in a medium bowl or large ziploc bag.
- Score the tofu into wedges that are about ½-¾ of an inch at the widest point. Rip tofu at score marks to create tofu wedges with irregular edges.
- Place the tofu into the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes to overnight.
- When ready to cook, mix all batter ingredients besides the soy milk in a medium mixing bowl. When combined, add the milk and mix until the batter is uniform in texture.
- Remove the tofu from the fridge. Using a fork or clean hands, coat each tofu wedge in the batter and place into the air fryer basket.
- Spray the tofu liberally with oil and cook in an air fryer at 400° F for 10-13 minutes until the tofu is golden brown in color. Pause about halfway to flip the tofu with a heat-safe turner.
- When cooked, toss the tofu in sauce and serve.
