We made "Tuffalo Wings" tonight, and they turned out way better than could be expected. It seemed appropriate, since we skipped the football game.
Following suggestions made here, about a week ago I drained and froze a pound of firm tofu. What a great thing that was.
1 # firm tofu, drained, frozen, and thawed
1 1/2 C bread crumbs
2 eggs (replace with egg replacer)
1/2 C flour
1 t. cayenne
1 1/2 C veg oil
2 tbsp soy margerine
3 tbsp Sriracha
for the "ranch" (and I'm no cowgrrrl, so i made this up)
2 tbsp cottage cheese (replace with soft silken tofu)
1 t half-n-half
1 t dill
1 t onion powder
a pinch of K salt, and a healthy grind of fresh black pepper
in a food processor, make the "ranch" (it's not buying the farm, I swear!) by adding all ingredients, and blending until smooth.
for the Tuff sauce, melt the margarine, and add the Sriracha to it, mixing well with a whisk
for the Tuffalo!
1) preheat the oven to 300
2) drain the tofu, and slice into 1/4 inch slices, and then cut in half. you should end up with 18-20 chunks
3) heat the oil in a medium sauce pan
4) dredge the tofu in the flour, then the egg, then the crumbs.
5) fry, fry fry. ( I worked in batches of 5, mas o menos)
6) using tongs, remove the tofu to paper towels, and allow to drain for a couple of minutes
7) coat the tofu in the Tuff sauce, and place on a baking sheet
8) bake for 10 minutes/side, turning once.
Serve with the "ranch" and celery.

Mon, February 6, 2006 - 1:19 PMwe jokingly call it "cock sauce" because it has a rooster on it. I think it's Thai or Vietnamese in origin. you could replace it with any hot sauce you like, I'm guessing. all the "real" wings recipes call for Frank's Red Hot, which is at most groceries -

Re: Tuffalo!
Tue, February 7, 2006 - 4:39 PMsure, that'll work. it was the end of the CC, and I needed to extend it a little, and thin it. you could probably use olive oil, or a splish (not a splash, but a splish, i tells ya ;) ) veg stock, too. Now go put the mental in experimental and let me know how/what ya did! :-)
