Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained
  • salt to taste
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • ground cinnamon, or more to taste
  • olive oil, or more as needed

Directions

Step 1
Slice tofu into 1/8-inch-thick slices, laying pieces on a paper towel as you go. Season each side lightly with salt.

Step 2
Place cornmeal in a shallow bowl; add a pinch of salt and cinnamon and stir.

Step 3
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.

Step 4
Dip each side of the tofu slices in the cornmeal mixture; gently tap off excess. Place tofu in the hot saucepan and cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Cook’s Notes:

I've tried melting some butter with the olive oil for frying the tofu pieces, and this works well and adds additional flavor.
