Creating delicious Tofu Nuggets is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Press the Tofu: Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture for about 15 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven: If you prefer baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Prepare the Coating: In one bowl, mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and plant-based milk. In a third bowl, place the flour.
4. Cut the Tofu: Once pressed, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes or rectangles.
5. Coat the Tofu: Dredge each piece of tofu in flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each nugget is well-coated.
6. Fry the Nuggets: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the nuggets in batches, frying until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
7. Baking Option: If baking, place the coated nuggets on a lined baking sheet and spray lightly with oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Once fried, place the nuggets on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
9. Serve Warm: Enjoy your Tofu Nuggets warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

By following these simple steps, you’ll create Tofu Nuggets that are crispy, flavorful, and utterly satisfying.
