Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F. Slice tofu. Press with paper towel and or dish towel to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, corn starch, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. Add the flour to another bowl, and the almond milk to a third bowl. Dip each piece of tofu in the flour, then the almond milk, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Repeat with all the tofu.
