Fried "Chicken" Tofu and Gravy


Cookbook * Cookin' Southern: Vegetarian Style
Recipe * Fried "Chicken" Tofu and Gravy
Yumm or Yuck? * Yumm and So So

Everyone needs a staple mock chicken recipe. I wasn't thrilled with this recipe the day I made it, but during the night it miraculously transformed into what is easily the best "cold chicken fried tofu" I've ever had. I remember eating cold chicken sandwiches using leftover fried chicken as a kid. This tastes almost exactly the same! Take your next-day leftovers and make a sandwich with veganaise, tomato, and lettuce. Make sure you really dredge the tofu with nutritional yeast and cook on a medium high heat or lower to avoid burning.

The gravy is another story. The taste is okay, but too many lumps foiled my plans for a perfect Southern dinner.

  1. Can't wait to try this out for myself. Sounds like a dish I might pass off as 'food' to the neighbors here.

  2. I took a cooking class from Ann Jackson, the author of the Cookin' Southern cookbook. She emphasized trying to make this in an electric non-stick skillet if at all possible. After making it in class that way, I tried it again at home in an electric skillet and it was much improved...it seems to hold together better and can cook longer that way.

  5. I am curious to know how is the flavor of this "chicken." I have heard very bad commentaries about vegan substitutes of meat. Viagra Generic Viagra
