I don't like to eat fish, but my DH loves catfish filets. This is a different way of making tofu that kind of tricks you into thinking they are catfish.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package of drained firm tofu (firm works well, but extra firm will make it easier to handle) or 1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu (firm works well, but extra firm will make it easier to handle)
1 (12 ounce) can cheap beer
1 1/2 cups flour (I used whole wheat, but regular white works too)
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup canola oil
tartar sauce or sweet chili sauce

Steps:

  • Mix beer and flour in a bowl until you have a thin batter. Sometimes this uses more or less flour. Just adjust until it looks like a thin pancake batter.
  • In a second bowl, mix remaining 6 ingredients.
  • Cut tofu into 1/4 inch thick slices. I got about 10 or 12. Place slices on 1 piece of paper towel then place a couple of paper towels on top of the slices and pat to dry a little.
  • Heat oil in heavy skillet or cast iron pan until one drop of water splashed in spits around the pan.
  • Carefully dip slices of tofu in beer batter shaking off the excess. Place in cornmeal mixture and tap each side to get coating to stick.
  • Place in hot oil and fry until golden about 3 minutes each side. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to drain.
  • Serve with tartar sauce or sweet chili sauce.
