Ingredients: For Crispy Tofu:
- 1 block extra-firm tofu
- 2 - 4 tablespoons Zombie Powder (adjust for your spice tolerance)
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Soy sauce for drizzling (optional)
For Accompanying Side Dish:
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Prep the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut it into bite-sized cubes, and pat each cube dry with a paper towel. The drier, the crispier!
-
Zombie Powder Coating: In a bowl, mix Zombie Powder with cornstarch. Roll each tofu cube in the spice blend until evenly coated. This is where the flavor resurrection begins!
-
Heat the Oil: In a pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Test the oil's readiness by dropping a small piece of tofu – if it sizzles, it's showtime!
-
Crisp 'em Up: Carefully add the Zombie Powder-coated tofu cubes to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Don't be afraid to channel your inner zombie slayer!
-
Drain and Savor: Remove the crispy tofu from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel. Resist the urge to snack; the best is yet to come!
-
Quinoa Salad Creation: In a bowl, mix cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle lime juice over the top and season with salt and pepper. Toss until well combined.
-
Serve in Style: Plate the crispy Zombie Powder Tofu alongside the vibrant Quinoa Salad. Drizzle with soy sauce for an extra flavor kick if you dare!

Savor the Victory: Take a bite, and revel in the symphony of flavors – crispy, spicy, and utterly delicious. The undead never tasted this good!
