Tofu schnitzel has a creamy tofu middle with a crispy, crunchy panko crust. It's a versatile vegetarian schnitzel that can be served with just about anything.
Tofu schnitzel will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. However, it doesn’t stay crispy and will have a softer texture after being refrigerated. It's really at its best the first night when it's hot and crispy, and every bite is a combination of soft tofu and crunchy, salty breadcrumbs. However, you can re-heat the tofu for 10 to 12 minutes set on a rack over a sheet-pan in a 350 F oven, and it will get crispier again.
I like to cut up pieces of leftover tofu schnitzel and eat it in a lettuce salad, or cold noodle salad, or grain bowl. Sometimes I re-heat the leftover schnitzel, and sometimes I eat it cold.
If you're using 12-ounce blocks of tofu, you'll probably only need to use 3 eggs.
If you'd like to bake the tofu instead of frying it, read the instructions in the blog post above.
