Soy Food, Dairy-Free, Vegan

Easy to make and fun to eat, this crispy wake-up-your-tastebuds tofu provides a delicious vegan version of traditional corn dogs. Sweet and hot mustard is the secret ingredient in the tangy, delicious coating.

Serves 4
Equipment needed: Paper towels for blotting tofu; 6 skewers, if grilling.

1 package (16 ounce) firm or extra firm tofu
1/2 cup sweet & hot mustard
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
pinch of chili pepper, or to taste
spray can of olive oil
Place block of tofu on cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut into three equal sections lengthwise. Cut each section in half lengthwise so that you end up with six "tofu sticks."

Arrange several layers of paper towels on a plate and place tofu sticks on top. Place several layers of paper towels on top of sticks and press down to remove excess moisture from tofu.

Place tofu sticks in a container large enough to store them in a single layer. Using a knife or a brush, spread mustard evenly on all sides of the tofu. Cover container and place in refrigerator to marinate for at least three hours or overnight.

After marinating tofu, remove from refrigerator. Place seasoned breadcrumbs on a plate, add chili pepper and mix together with a fork. Place each tofu stick on a skewer.


Holding the skewer, one at a time, place each tofu stick into the breadcrumbs and coat on all sides. Place each skewered tofu stick on a plate after coating.

Lift each tofu stick off the plate using the skewer. Spray all sides of tofu with olive oil. Place back on plate to transport to grill.

Lightly spray grill with olive oil to prevent sticking. Grill sticks over medium heat, turning so that all four sides become browned and crispy. Remove from grill and serve on skewers.

To cook in the oven:
Heat oven to 375°F. Omit skewers. Use a fork to place marinated tofu into breadcrumbs to coat. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes or until browned and crispy.
