1. Prepare the tofu:
Press the tofu well with a clean cloth or tofu press to remove excess liquid. Then cut into slices about 1.5 cm thick.
2. Mix the marinade:
Combine the soy sauce, paprika, lemon juice, pepper, mustard, and water in a bowl.
3. Marinate the tofu:
Leave the tofu slices to marinate for at least 10 minutes. The longer you leave them, the more intense the flavor will be (up to 1 hour is possible).
4. Prepare the breading:
Mix the flour, cornstarch, plant milk, and salt in a bowl until you have a smooth liquid.
5. Bread the tofu:
First dip the marinated tofu slices in the batter, then roll them in the breadcrumbs until they are completely covered.
6. Fry the cutlets:
Heat some oil in a pan. Fry the breaded tofu slices over medium heat for about 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve:
Optionally, drizzle with lemon juice. Tastes especially good with fresh asparagus, potato salad, green salad, or roasted vegetables.
