Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 (14 oz) block extra firm tofu
  • 2/3 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup rice crispy cereal (, crushed)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free tamari
  • Water as needed

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Place the tofu on a cutting board and cover it with a paper towel. Place a few heavy cookbooks on top of the paper towels and let the tofu sit for a good 20 minutes.
  • Once the tofu has been pressed, cut the tofu into strips. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the coconut, cereal, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Prepare your "assembly line". Pour the coconut milk into a shallow dish. Start by dredging the tofu strips into the coconut milk, then transfer a strip to the coconut-cereal bowl and coat it with the mixture. Transfer the strip to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and repeat with the other strips.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the tofu strips and bake for another 20 minutes more.
  • When ready to serve, quickly whip up the sauce. Combine everything in a small bowl and stir together with water as needed until you get a pourable texture.
