Tofu is such an incredible discovery. They say a Chinese cook stumbled upon the concoction over 2000 years ago and thank EVERYTHING that he did!!! 🙌
This delicious recipe is so easy to make I’m not even kidding you. We make these a few times a week in my household. You will need one kitchen appliance however…
An AIR FRYER!!! 🙌

Herbamare
Nutritional Yeast

Notes
- These also make a great healthy little “chickn” nugget snack too!
Ta Da! 
Soup 
Ramen 
Noodles 
Curry 
Stew
Crispy tofu can literally be added to any meal as that meal’s protein. I like having it in stir-fry’s, absolutely love it in soups, and if you cut them into rectangles instead of cubes they make a great Crispy Tofu Steak.
