Gluten-Free Golden Crispy Tofu Fillet

This gluten-free golden crispy tofu fillet is so good. The tofu comes out crispy, crunchy, and delicious.

One package of extra-firm organic tofu

1 cup Silk soy creamer
1 tablespoon Coleman's Mustard Powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

3/4 cup gluten-free flour (We used Bob's Red Mill GF Baking Flour)
2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup gluten-free panko crumbs (We used Ian's brand)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Oil for frying: light extra virgin olive oil or Avocado oil

Remove as much of the water from the tofu as possible. You want the tofu to be dry before frying.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, add the soy creamer, mustard powder, and salt. Whisk it all together until well combined and set aside.

In a separate medium bowl, add the gluten-free flour, Old Bay Seasoning, and pepper. Whisk it all together until well combined and set aside.

Place 1 cup of gluten-free panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds in another medium-sized bowl. Set all three dishes in assembly-line fashion.

Cut the tofu into six pieces. Dip one into the cream mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture. Set it on a baking sheet, and continue with the remaining portions.

Add about 1/4-inch of oil to a frying pan over medium heat.

When the oil is hot (not smoking), re-dip a couple of fillets at a time into the cream mixture, then coat with the panko crumbs. Place the fillets in the oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

Drain the fillets on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.

Serve with hot, crispy fries, a fresh lemon wedge, and tartar sauce if desired.
