Method
- Remove tofu from its packaging and pat dry with paper towel.
- You can either cut the tofu into small cubes or gently scrunch it into rustic chunks using your hands. The rough edges help create extra crispy texture when cooked.
- Place the tofu in a bowl and sprinkle over the rice flour. Toss gently until lightly coated.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the tofu and cook for about 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp on all sides.
- In the final minute of cooking, sprinkle over the nutritional yeast and a pinch of sea salt. Toss gently to coat the tofu evenly.
- Remove from the pan and serve immediately.
