Vegan Tofu Cutlets Recipes
VEGAN TOFU CUTLETS
My husband and I have been trying to figure out a great way to cook tofu and we have never gotten it JUST right... until now! Here was the problem: we had always been cutting the tofu vertically (slicing it from the top), never horizontally (slicing it from the side) too, so it always was too thick, leaving it very squishy. Anyway, here is a sandwich base that tastes like it's awful for you.. and yet it isn't! Very little fat, fairly low calorie, very filling, and completely vegan. (by the way, in the prep work time, I did not include the tofu pressing, since it isn't active work)

Yield 4 (2 cutlets per person), 2 serving(s)
Number Of Ingredients 4
Steps:
- Cut the tofu block into fourths horizontally (to create 4 thinner slabs).
- Press each slab, wrapped in a paper towel, between two plates, with a large book or full tea kettle on top. Change the paper towels whenever they get become soaking wet (or else they're just sitting in their own water). Remove the slabs when they are to your desired dryness (there is no exact amount of time to leave them under there).
- Prepare the EnerG according to the directions on the box (1 1/2 tsp beaten into 2 TB warm water).
- Crush up the breadcrumbs if they are not finely ground. Put them into a flat dish or tray. Mix your dried spices evenly into the breadcrumbs.
- Put the "egg" mixture into a flat dish or tray of its own.
- Dip each tofu slab into the egg mixture, evenly covering the front and back. Then dip its front and back in the breadcrumbs.
- Move to a baking sheet coated with Pam.
- Bake your cutlets at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes (until they are golden brown). You may need to flip them if you use a traditional oven -- we've only baked them in our convection oven and we didn't need to.
- Tips for serving: as is, or in a sandwich with soy cheese. In fact, REALLY good with soy cheese or some other vegan cheese equivalent. Or you could turn it into a tofu parm! Enjoy!

- PREP THE TOFU: First, you’ll want to freeze your tofu. Place the whole container (do not open it) in the freezer overnight. In the morning, remove it from the freezer and set it in a shallow dish on your counter to thaw. This will take several hours. When the tofu is thawed, squeeze it gently over the sink and press it with a tofu press or on paper towels to remove any excess liquid.
- MARINATE: Place your tofu on a cutting board and slice it into 8 equal “cutlets.” Use a fork to mix all the marinade ingredients in a large measuring cup. Place the cutlets in a shallow container and pour the marinade over them, making sure each cutlet is coated. Cover and place them in your fridge for at least an hour or overnight.*
- BAKE: When you’re ready to bake your cutlets, preheat your oven to 350F and grab a large baking sheet. Place the cutlets on this baking sheet and bake them at 350F for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Depending on the thickness / brand of tofu you’re using, you may want to flip and cook them another 10 - 20 minutes until they are browned and meaty. We end up cooking ours an extra 10 most times.
- SERVE: Finally, let your cutlets cool slightly before slicing them up for all your salads or pasta or bowls throughout the week. They will firm a bit as they cool. You can store them in an air-tight container in the fridge or freeze them for up to 8 weeks!
