- Large block of firm tofu (400g)
- 2 tbsp soy milk
- 4 tbsp cornflour
- Salt and pepper
- ⅔ cup desiccated coconut (55g)
- Spray of olive oil
Instructions
- Firstly, if you have a tofu press - press your tofu. If not, use a tea towel or paper towels to pat dry.
- Cut the tofu into triangles (about 1 cm thick). Put the milk and cornflour in one bowl and mix well. Put the coconut and some salt and pepper in another bowl.
- Dip the tofu into the cornflour mix and then into the coconut to coat each piece. Spray with oil and then air fry for 10 mins at 180C /350F turning once.
Notes
-
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can easily pan fry or put in a regular oven. You may just need to cook for a little longer.
- If you want a spicier taste, then add in a tsp of paprika and a pinch of chilli powder to the coconut mix.
- They also work well as a curried coconut crust. Add 1 tsp of curry powder to the coconut mix and cook as before.
