Description
Ok, this one might be a hard sell for the tofu first-timers, but every veg head knows this recipe as a standard way to bread and pan-fry tofu. I first heard it from my friend's mom (a lifetime vegetarian) when i was 16 years old. I've seen a variation of it in the "new farm vegetarian cookbook" as well. Veg head or not, give it a try, its pretty fabulous and delicious.
Fyi: nutritional yeast is a non-active yeast loaded with b vitamins and protein, and it tastes a little cheesy, and little bread-like.
