Chicken Fried Tofu is a flavorful plant-based dish that brings the comforting texture and taste of classic fried chicken to tofu, making it a popular choice in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Originating as a creative twist on Southern fried chicken, this dish uses firm tofu as the protein base, coated in a seasoned flour or breadcrumb mixture often featuring salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. After coating, the tofu is fried to a golden crisp, resulting in a satisfying crunch and tender interior. While high in protein and a source of essential amino acids, the frying process can add significant fat and calories, depending on the choice of oil. For a healthier option, it can be baked or air-fried without losing its signature texture. Chicken Fried Tofu is versatile, pairing well with traditional sides like mashed potatoes or coleslaw, and is an indulgent way to enjoy plant-based eating.
