Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
  • In another shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Coat each tofu steak in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the panko breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs onto the tofu to coat it evenly.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Transfer the tofu steaks to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender with the water, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the cashew sauce. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Serve the crispy tofu steaks on a platter with the cooked brown rice, steamed vegetables, and cashew sauce on the side. Garnish with lemon wedges, and enjoy!
