Fried Tofu Recipe
Oil
1 Pack Extra Firm Tofu (5 carbs)
2 tblsp. Soy Sauce (0 carbs)
1 1/2 tblsp. Nutritional Yeast (3 carbs)
1 oz grated white cheddar cheese (1 carb)

First cube the tofu. Then heat up a little oil in a frying pan. You don't need a lot. Just enough to coat the tofu. Cook tofu till brown (I never stop stiring it). Once it gets brown pour 1 tablespoon of Soy Sauce over it and continue to stir till it is all coated. Remove tofu from pan and wash out pan (or you could get a new one). Heat up a little oil again. Once oil is hot add Tofu back to pan. Keep stiring till golden brown. Add one more tablespoon of Soy Sauce (if desired). Keep stiring till it gets stiff, then add Nutritional Yeast. Once it's all coated, remove from heat. Serve with a little white cheddar cheese on top.
DEEELISH!!!

I made it tonight. I didn't have any white cheddar this time so I used sharp cheddar. It was good, but the white cheddar is much better on it. The Nutritional Yeast has a really nice cheesy flovor too, so you may not even want extra cheese. Also be careful with Soy Sauce. Mine has no carbs, but Soy Sauce has LOTS of sodium. I need to look into one of the Low Sodium Soy Sauces. The whole thing is 9 carbs, but I only eat half, so I count it as 5 carbs. I had Asparagus with it (I really needed to get in some veggies today), and that was another 4 carbs. It's also good with thinly sliced veggies cooked with it. I hope you can understand my directions I took a pic of it tonight...lol
ENJOY!!!

Ok... I've always said "ick" to tofu (without ever tasting it, I have to admit!).

But that looks really good.

Me too dream. But I tried this at a resturant, and I LOVED it. They serve it over brown rice, and it's just as good, if not better without the rice

Re: Fried Tofu Recipe...YUMMY!!!

OK, yell at me if this is a stupid question...but what exactly is nutritional yeast, what does it do, and where do I buy it?

I've used yeast to make bread, but I have a feeling this isn't the same thing...hrmm...I'm dying to do something with my tofu in the fridge so I need to figure this one out.

This recipe looks awesome, even if I'm clueless about the yeast! Thanks!

Re: Fried Tofu Recipe...YUMMY!!!

That has a link in it. It's really good for you. Esp. If you're a vegetarian. It has a cheesy, nutty taste that's really nice. It's a yellow powder. I get it at the Health Food Store. It says you can add it to lots of things like, sprinkle on salad, add to gravies, AND it makes tofu taste GREAT!!! I get RED STAR NUTRITIONAL YEAST

I hope that helps
