  2. Pour tamari (soy sauce) into a shallow bowl.
  3. In another bowl, combine the nutritional yeast and any desired spices.
  4. Slice the tofu into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  5. Dip each tofu slice into the tamari, ensuring it’s evenly coated, then coat it with the yeast mixture.
  6. Place the coated tofu slices into the prepared pan over medium heat.
  7. Fry the tofu until golden brown, then carefully flip and brown the other side.
  8. If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the pan to prevent sticking.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, marinate the tofu slices in the tamari for a few minutes before coating them with the yeast mixture.
  • Adjust the spices in the yeast mixture to suit your taste preferences. Cumin and garlic add a delicious savory flavor.
  • Serve the fried tofu hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a protein-packed addition to salads, sandwiches, or grain bowls.
