Method
-
Step 1
Drain the tofu and press in a tofu press to remove more water for crispier tofu. Use a tofu press. Alternatively, wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place it between two chopping boards, then pile several heavy books on top and leave it for 2-3 hours
-
Step 2
Once the tofu has been drained/ pressed, use your hands to break it into ‘nugget’ sized chunks. You can cut it into pieces if you would prefer, but I think the ragged edges are better to hold the coating and make them look like typical chicken nuggets
-
Step 3
Pour the oat milk into a shallow bowl
-
Step 4
In a separate shallow bowl, mix together all of the remaining ingredients
-
Step 5
Take a piece of tofu and coat it in milk, followed by the coating. Make sure that all of the sides are covered. Then place it in the Ninja FoodiCook & Crisp Basket. Repeat until all of the tofu is coated
-
Step 6
Seal the lid of the Foodi. Select ‘Air Crisp’ at 210°C for 20 minutes. Then press Start
-
Step 7
Once the nuggets are ready you can serve them with chips and beans or a side salad
