Tofu
- Tatare Sauce
- Beer Batter
Instructions
- Cut the tofu block twice horizontally, to give three slices, then divide these diagonally. Serve with tartare sauce and oven-roasted potato chips (fries) and a green salad.
- Leave to drain on paper towels – it is quite important that the tofu be dry in order to absorb the marinade.
-
Mix the kelp powder and salt in a pestle and mortar, and grind to a fine powder. Add the garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil in a bowl. Add the tofu pieces and gently mix to coat. Let sit for two hours or in the fridge overnight.
- Meanwhile, combine all the tartare sauce ingredients and set aside or in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
- When ready to cook, make the batter by placing the flour in a bowl, pouring the beer over and whisking together.
- Place the dredging flour on a plate and, one piece at a time, remove the tofu from the marinade, dredge all over in the flour, then dip in the batter and turn to coat.
-
Fry in a heavy frying pan, over a medium-high heat, for 5 minutes a side. Take care turning them as the batter is quite fragile.

Serve with tartare sauce and oven-roasted potato chips (fries) and a green salad.
