LEMON-PEPPER FRIED "CHICKEN" TENDERS

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these not-so-chicken tenders satisfy that craving because the tofu is soaked in a "not chicken" broth, yielding an umami flavor. Don't be tempted to skip the pressing of the tofu-that's crucial in removing its liquid so it can soak up that broth.

Lemon-Pepper Fried

Steps:

  • For the lemon-pepper "chicken": Place the tofu on a layer of paper towels on a cutting board. Top with more paper towels. Place a pot over the top and fill with heavy cans to press the excess liquid from the tofu. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the tofu into strips. Soak the strips in the broth in a bowl for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the ranch dip: Stir together the mayonnaise, almond milk, parsley, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the lemon-pepper "chicken": Pour enough oil to reach halfway up the sides of a cast-iron skillet. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • Make the "buttermilk" by stirring together the almond milk and vinegar in a shallow dish. Let stand, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes to develop a tangy flavor. Combine the flour, cornstarch, lemon-pepper seasoning and salt and pepper to taste in a separate shallow dish.
  • Dip the tofu strips in the "buttermilk," then dredge in the flour mixture. Fry, in batches, turning occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain on a wire rack and sprinkle with additional lemon-pepper seasoning while still hot. Serve hot with the ranch dip.

Two 14-ounce packages firm tofu
3 cups "no chicken" broth (or broth made with no chicken base)
Peanut or canola oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 cups all-purpose flour
