TOFU FISH STICKS
I like the flavour of fish and I like Tofu, so this seemed like a good idea. I pressed my tofu first so the sticks wouldn't be soggy. If you want to press your tofu here's the recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/How-to-Press-Tofu-For-Marinades-or-Frying-312486. I put the laver (sea veggie) into my magic bullet and broke it down. You can use Nori also.

Tips for Making Perfect Tofu Fish Sticks and Sauce:
- Use extra firm tofu for best results. It holds its shape better and absorbs the marinade more easily.
- Press the tofu before cooking to remove excess moisture. This helps the tofu become crispy.
- Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Use a light touch when breading the tofu. Too much breading will make the tofu heavy and greasy.
- Shallow fry the tofu fish sticks in a non-stick pan over medium heat. This helps them cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the tofu fish sticks with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, ketchup, or lemon wedges are all great options.
Conclusion:
Tofu fish sticks are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fish sticks. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
