- 1 block Extra firm tofu (Frozen and thawed for denser texture)
- 1 cup Vegan chicken broth (Vegetable broth works as a great substitute)
- 1 cup Soy milk (Can substitute with any plant-based milk)
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar (Lemon juice can be used as an alternative)
- 1 tbsp Hot sauce (Adjust to taste for desired heat)
- 1 cup Flour (Gluten-free flour mix can be used)
- 1/4 cup Cornstarch (Potato starch can also be used)
- 1/4 cup Cornmeal (Can skip for a finer coating)

- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 tsp White pepper
- Freeze the tofu overnight, then thaw for at least 30 minutes. Press gently to remove excess moisture.
- Cut the tofu into cubes and marinate in vegan chicken broth for at least 15 minutes.
- Mix soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and hot sauce in a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes to thicken.
- Whisk together flour, cornstarch, cornmeal, oregano, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black and white pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet to 370°F (187°C) for frying.
- Dip marinated tofu in buttermilk and then coat with the dry breading mixture. Repeat for extra crunch if desired.
- Fry the breaded tofu cubes in batches for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
