Buffalo-style Crispy Tofu Recipe

Prepare dip by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, and blue cheese in a small bowl. Cover and set aside in chiller until ready to use.

Cut tofu into sticks, about 1 inch thick. Arrange tofu in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels. Let tofu drain, about 30 minutes. ?

Combine flour, salt, fry mix, garlic powder, and white pepper. Dredge the tofu in the flour mixture. Tap to create a thin coating. Dip in egg wash and roll again in flour mixture. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add tofu in two batches; cook until very light golden, turning gently to cook all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels.

Combine clarified butter, ketchup and Tabasco sauce in a small bowl. Dip the fried tofu and place on a serving dish. Serve with vegetable sticks and blue cheese dip (optional).
