Learn how to cook tofu in a pan! In this recipe, firm tofu is breaded with nutritional yeast then pan-fried until golden brown. Creates a crispy breading. Great with hash browns and toast for a weekend breakfast, lunch, whatever! My daughter likes to dip this in ketchup. Excellent in a sandwich.

- 6 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste (Optional)
