Recipe: Tofu Popcorn Chicken

Vegan Tofu Popcorn Chicken

You can tell by the photos just how good this was. I made this when I was home alone and therefore didn’t feel obliged to make a ‘proper’ dinner, which had the added bonus of allowing me to experiment on myself with something I wasn’t sure The Meat Eater would like.

Crispy seasoned battered tofu, stuffed into pitta bread with salad and mayo – a gorgeous quick and simple meal.

The original recipe came from The Vedge but I’ll post below how I made it. This makes more batter than you need but you can freeze whatever’s left over.
