Tofu Nuggets

Vegan Tofu Nuggets Recipe

We use cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs, which make these nuggets extra crunchy.

  • You can make this gluten-free using gluten-free flour and cornflakes.
  • The tofu we buy is usually extra-firm and we only need to press it between our hands for a 10-15 seconds to remove any excess water.
  • Most cornflakes aren’t vegan because they contain a form of vitamin D which is sourced from wool, so it’s always worth checking the label.

Made these tonight. Perfect texture. Loved using the corn flakes but they didn’t really have any flavor. I followed the recipe exactly. Maybe marinade the tofu first?

Please can you tell me if I should press the tofu?

Hi Rachel, Yes you should press the tofu a little to get rid of the excess water. Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)
