Cooking Tips
Instead of baking the tofu fries, you can also try frying them. To do this, first coat a frying pan with oil. Slice and season the tofu strips and then place them on the frying pan over medium heat. Let them cook until each side is golden and crisp.c
You can also experiment with different seasonings for the fries. One option is to sprinkle standard poultry seasoning on the tofu strips before cooking them.c Tofu fries can also be eaten with a variety of sauces, including barbecue sauce or sweet dipping sauce.
