Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed*
- ½ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground thyme
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- Dash of white pepper (optional)
- 4 French sandwich loaves (or 1 large loaf of French bread, cut into 4 pieces)
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 cup lettuce, thinly sliced
For the California Avocado remoulade:
- 1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado
- ¼ cup pickle juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 green onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon hot sauce
- Dash of white pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Use your hands to break tofu into 1-inch chunks. Place in a shallow bowl. Drizzle milk on top of the tofu. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add flour, cornmeal, paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, cayenne, and white pepper. Stir to combine.
- Dip each tofu chunk into the flour mixture and coat completely. Shake to remove excess flour mixture, then place on the baking sheet. Repeat with all tofu chunks.
- Spray tofu generously with oil spray or nonstick spray. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until crispy and browned.
- To make the California Avocado remoulade, add all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- To assemble each po boy: spread California Avocado remoulade on both halves of the French bread. Place tomato slices and lettuce on the bottom half of the bread. Place tofu on top.
Notes
*Use a tofu press or wrap the tofu in paper towels and place in the sink with a heavy object on top. Press for 10-15 minutes.
