Tofish and chips
Ingredients
- 2 blocks extra-firm tofu
- 1kg potatoes, peeled
- ½ cup vegetable stock
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 180g plain flour
- 40g cornflour
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 240ml ale
- Lemon wedges
Steps
- Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes. Once done pat dry drain the liquid and pat the tofu dry with a paper towel.
- Slice each block into three rectangles. Place a chopstick on either side of each block and score in a diamond pattern.
- Mix together ingredients from stock to salt. Add the tofu, turning to cover. Set aside to marinate, flipping occasionally.
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Cut the potatoes into 1cm thick chips, add to the pan and bring it back to the boil, then cook for 5 minutes.
- Drain the chips, spread them out over a clean tea towel and leave to dry.
- In a large bowl add the flour, cornflour, salt and pepper and mix. Slowly pour in the ale so no lumps form. Mix until smooth then set aside.
- Cut nori into pieces the size of the tofu. Stick a piece of nori to one side of each tofu block. Hold in place with 2 toothpicks.
- Air fry half the chips at 140°C for 3-4 minutes. Then take them out and spread out on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat for the other half.
- Increase the heat to 180°C and put the first batch back in. Fry until golden and crispy then keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the second batch.
- Dip the tofu blocks into the batter, turning so they're completely covered. Air fry in batches until they're golden brown all over.
- Once each block is cooked drain on a paper towel then carefully remove the toothpicks.
- Repeat the process again so that all the tofu blocks are double-dipped and fried in 2 coats of batter.
