Lemon-Pepper Fried "Chicken" Tenders
DISH THANKS TO KARDEA BROWN
Level: Intermediate
Overall: 2 hr 30 minutes (includes drying and soaking time).
Active: 55 min.
Yield: 6 to 8 portions.
Active ingredients.
Lemon-Pepper "Chicken":.
2 14-ounce packages firm tofu.
3 cups "no chicken" broth (or broth made without any chicken base).
Peanut or canola oil, for frying.
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk.
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar.
2 cups versatile flour.
1/4 cup cornstarch.
1/4 cup lemon-pepper spices, plus more for sprinkling.
Kosher salt and newly ground black pepper.
Dairy-Free Cattle Ranch Dip:.
1 cup vegan mayo.
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk.
1 teaspoon dried parsley.
1 teaspoon white vinegar.
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
1/2 teaspoon onion powder.
1/4 teaspoon dried dill.
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Directions.
Unique devices: a deep-fry thermometer.
For the lemon-pepper "chicken": Place the tofu on a layer of paper towels on a cutting board. Leading with more paper towels. Location a pot over the leading and fill with heavy cans to press the excess liquid from the tofu. Let mean 30 minutes.
Cut the tofu into strips. Soak the strips in the broth in a bowl for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, make the ranch dip: Stir together the mayonnaise, almond milk, parsley, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and dill in a little bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until all set to serve.
For the lemon-pepper "chicken": Put sufficient oil to reach halfway up the sides of a cast-iron skillet. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a cake rack.
Make the "buttermilk" by stirring together the almond milk and vinegar in a shallow dish. Let stand, blending periodically, for 10 minutes to develop a tasty flavor. Integrate the flour, cornstarch, lemon-pepper seasoning and salt and pepper to taste in a separate shallow meal.
Dip the tofu strips in the "buttermilk," then dig up in the flour mixture. Fry, in batches, turning periodically, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain pipes on a wire rack and sprinkle with extra lemon-pepper spices while still hot. Serve hot with the cattle ranch dip.

Please add MS FVCKING WONDERFULegan in the title. You’ll get more views. TY
Have you ever tried freezing and defrosting the firm tofu before pressing and pressing it? The resultant texture is amazing!
That looked like it might taste good
You know what?!
Dang it, soaking tofu in stock is such a good idea, the saltiness of the stock would help overpower the plain tofu flavor
Looks good, but I’ll stick with real chicken tenders. My go to for tenders is Raising Cane’s with Cane Sauce to dip them in. So good! 😋
I love how she explains the texture of what it will taste like after, and the swaps and why she does what she does
THE TITLE SAYS CHICKEN ! WHERE IS THE CHICKEN ?
Did you notice it is in quotes? That usually means whatever the word in quotes is is not real.
👒
👩🏼🦳 No Chicken Broth —– what?>?>??
👗👍🏼 YES!! Hello Kardea! Dairy free ranch dipping sauce.
👖 Crispy Fried Tofu – you are showing out! I Love it.
Take a bite of meat every time she says vegan
Love this ❤ great energy from Kardea as well.
😃
Do this useing real chicken you aint look like a vegan sister
She didn’t say she is. Nothing wrong with offering options for vegans. I don’t eat red meat and but eat chicken breast and many times just eat vegetarian. Believe me, I don’t even look like a semi vegetarian.
Mmm good 🌹💖👍😋
Is it just me or is kardea brown fine
This looks amazing!
