CRISPY TOFU ๐๐ฟ๐
Hello my Dearest Foodies,
It was not too long ago, when I was experimenting with oven baked cauliflower, breaded in panko and since I was very happy with the results, I made also similar recipe with tofu. This recipe also turned out amazing, so I must share it with you, in case you would like to try. Just make sure you use medium firm tofu and instead of firm, because the firm tofu is little but dry for this. Believe me, I tried ๐

Yum yum yum! Looks amazing! What surprised me most is the bok choy :) I haven't seen it in my country yet but I will try to find it, I am curious how it tastes. Also, I've never cooked tofu in the oven (only in the pan) so I will try that as well :)
This was fist time for me too Kremena, just make sure you use the medium firm tofu, The very firm one can get too dry, And I hope you find bok choy, it's a very yummy vegetable, similar to cabbage. Thank you so much my Dear, I am happy you like it ๐ธ๐๐ธ
