For the Tofu "Chicken" Nuggets
- 1 14-ounce block extra-firm tofu (drained, frozen, and then thawed)
- 2 cups vegan broth (double-strength chicken flavored, from bouillon)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
For the "Breading"

For the Sriracha Mayo
- ¼ cup vegenaise

Instructions
- Cube tofu that's been drained, frozen, and thawed. Place tofu into a shallow pan, and pour broth over the top, making sure tofu is covered. Set aside to soak overnight (or for at least a couple hours), refrigerated.
- Meanwhile, make sriracha mayo. Spoon out about 1/4 cup vegenaise and squeeze a bit of sriracha in, stir, taste.. add more sriracha to taste.
- Once tofu has marinaded, stir together flour, yeast, salt, pepper, and spices. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-low heat. Remove tofu from broth and transfer to breading, a few at a time. Toss cubes in flour mixture, making sure to coat completely.
- Gently place tofu in hot oil; fry until crisp and browned on all sides. Each side took about 2-3 minutes. Remove from oil and set on wire rack with paper towels underneath to catch any drips.
- Serve immediately with sriracha mayo.
