Crispy Breaded Tofu with Asian Sauce

The soy sauce marinade makes this Crispy Breaded Tofu recipe extra tasty.

Instead of tofu you can also use tempeh. The tempeh will also need to be marinated. Seitan can also be used, but, in my opinion, will not need to be marinated.

As for the sauce, it's just yummy! A little bit of sauce gives this crispy tofu the final touch that everyone will enjoy.
