Crispy Pan-Fried Blackened Creole Tofu

Begin by draining your tofu, and gently pressing all excess liquid. Cut tofu into four large blocks and score the tofu and slice the edges to resemble a more round shape. Next add directly to your marinade (made from 1/2 c low sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp avocado oil, 1 tbsp blackened creole seasoning, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tbsp tomato paste, and 1 tsp liquid smoke) and marinade overnight or at least 1 hour covered. Once tofu is marinaded, add 1/4-1/2 c avocado oil to a shallow pan. Now add wet (1 8oz glass of beer, 1 c flour) and dry (1 c flour, 2 tbsp blackened seasoning mix) mixtures to two separate bowls and add your marinaded tofu into the dry then wet two times over then immediately fry for 3-4 minutes each side on medium heat. Once completed top with a little salt and serve as desired!
