Gluten-free coating mix:

  • 50 g coconut, shredded

  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Place the tofu between two plates, and press to remove excess liquid.
  • Cut the tofu into even strips (I cut it into 12 strips)
  • Make the coating by combining all the ingredients for the mix.
  • Dip each piece of tofu into the starch, then into the milk, and after that roll it in a coating mixture.
