Buffalo fried smoked tofu with blue cheese dip

American 30 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook


  1. Squeeze out any excess water from the tofu and slice it into 8cm long fingers.
  2. Place 100g of flour in a medium-sized bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining flour and water to make a paste. Finally, in a large bowl, toss together the panko, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of paprika and ½ teaspoon of cayenne.
  3. Working with one piece at a time, coat the tofu in flour, then the paste and finally in the breadcrumb mix.
  4. Heat a deep-fryer or pot of oil to 180°C. Drop the tofu into the fryer in batches and fry until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels.
  5. To make the buffalo sauce, combine the hot sauce, salted butter, vinegar, ½ tablespoon of paprika, ¼ teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of cayenne and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a small pot placed over medium heat and bring to a boil while whisking. Once the sauce begins to boil, remove from the heat and set aside.
  6. Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce in a bowl.
  7. Toss the fried tofu and buffalo sauce together and serve with the blue cheese dip.
