Ingredients

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/2 c. light mayonnaise
  • 1/4 c. sweet chili sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Frank's red hot
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For the tofu:

  • 1 15 oz. package extra firm tofu
  • 1 c. low fat milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tablespoon Frank's Red Hot
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 c. flour
  • 1/2 c. cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 c. breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Combine the ingredients for the sauce. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Remove the tofu from the package and drain for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile combine the milk, egg, Red Hot, and garlic cloves in a small bowl. Mix well.
  • In a large bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined. Pour the breadcrumbs into a shallow dish and set aside.
  • Pat the tofu dry and cut into 5 slices. Cut each slice in half and then on a diagonal.
  • Dip each tofu triangle into the flour and milk mixture allowing excess to drip off. Roll in the breadcrumbs and place in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Repeat with remaining tofu.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking. Remove from oven and serve with dipping sauce.
