1️⃣ Slice tofu block in half, take each half & slice in 4 slabs, slice each slab in half (16 pieces) wrap, place in freezer safe container, freeze overnight. (When you Freeze/thaw tofu, the tofu texture becomes “meaty”)
2️⃣ The tofu will be yellow. No worries. Thaw to room temp, then press each slab with a kitchen towel to get out water
3️⃣ Make marinade by whisking together chili sauce, tamari, & lime juice.
4️⃣ Take half the marinade, and marinate tofu pieces at least 1/2 hr
3️⃣While tenders are marinating, set up 3 stations for breading. One bowl with flour/salt/pepper, second bowl with coconut milk/1 tbl marinade,last bowl with Panko/ coconut/paprika/garlic. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper misted with oil
5️⃣Take tofu toss into flour bowl getting all areas, dip into milk bowl shaking off excess, then into Panko bowl making sure it is completely covered, place on baking sheet. Repeat.
6️⃣Bake at 375 F for 30 min flipping half way
7️⃣I served my tofu tenders topped with the remaining marinade 😋😋😋
