Blackened Tofu

    Nice -- I love how the tofu crisps up with the flour mix. This tasted great with lemon. Might adjust the spice mix next time -- I thought it was nice, but the bf didn't think it tasted like blackening spice. Thanks for posting!

    Blackened Tofu, Out of frustration at not finding a decent blackened tofu recipe I made one up, using several recipes online as examples The trick in frying the tofu is to remove the excess moisture from the tofu first I always add less thyme-it not being my favorite herb add more if you wish Oh, this might be a good time to state that this is very spicy! Since I’ve posted this recipe I have actually reduced the amount of pepper , Nice — I love how the tofu crisps up with the flour mix This tasted great with lemon Might adjust the spice mix next time — I thought it was nice, but the bf didn’t think it tasted like blackening spice Thanks for posting!, Out of frustration at not finding a decent blackened tofu recipe I made one up, using several recipes online as examples The trick in frying the tofu is to remove the excess moisture from the tofu first I always add less thyme-it not being my favorite herb add more if you wish Oh, this might be a good time to state that this is very spicy!
