Method for Tofu Cats (or other shapes)
I slice a block of extra firm tofu into four equal slices and then use cookie cutters to make shapes for the girls. We have a huge assortment of shapes (thanks, Mom!. The girls' favorites are the cat and papillon (butterfly). Hearts and stars are big hits too. After cutting out the shapes, I coat the tofu in my coating mix (front and back) and then fry the tofu on both sides in organic safflower or canola oil. I generally also make standard rectangles out of the tofu and fry those up for the girls' lunches, but today I decided to give them each two tofu cats and I kept the rectangles for my own lunch.
