Tofu Fish Sticks

So as a new mom of an infant who is now eating solid foods, I am finding it very difficult to find quick meals for when we are in a hurry. Many of the kids frozen meals are either meaty or full of preservatives. I started thinking about what I ate when I was a kid, and I suddenly had a fond memory of fish sticks. We are raising our daughter vegetarian, so I had to come up with something similar that she would enjoy. The nice thing about this is that it is quick to put together, and it can be thrown into the freezer and used by portion size when needed. This would also be good as fish sandwiches, just slicing the tofu into rectangle slices versus the "sticks." Enjoy!



Ingredients:

1 block of extra firm tofu drained and sliced into one inch sticks
1/2 c. of milk
1/2 of a lemon juiced
1 tsp. of soy sauce
1/2 c. of "Andy's" fish and shrimp breading
2 Tbsp. of kelp powder
Tartar sauce for serving

Directions:
Mix the milk, lemon juice, and soy sauce in one bowl. In a rimmed plate, mix the fish breading with the kelp powder. Dredge the tofu into the milk mixture, coat with breading, back into milk mixture, and finally add a second coat of breading. If not using immediately, place tofu sticks in a zip type bag and freeze until ready to use.

Preheat oven or toaster oven to 425 degrees. Place breaded tofu on baking sheet and lightly spray the tofu with cooking spray. Cook the tofu for 30 minutes or until heated through and the breading is toasted,  flipping occasionally and adding more cooking spray if necessary. Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges
