Vegan MoFo Day 9: Oyster Mushroom Fritto Misto and Chicken-Style Tofu
Stay tuned for tomorrow– I’ll be finishing baking and assembling a wedding cake for my friends Cathy and Scott!!
I had leftover Seasoned Flour from making the Breast Of Chicken Tofu (pictured below, from Nonna’s Italian Kitchen). So I dredged my oyster mushrooms in the leftover flour (after dipping them lightly in a flour-water slurry) and fried them in the leftover “chicken”-frying oil! Wow, these were indulgent. Kinda like breaded oysters… not that I think I ever had one, but like I think they would be richness-wise, except delightfully mushroomy. Seasoned Flour, by the way, is so simple I don’t think Bryanna Clark Grogan would mind that I posted it: 2 c. whole wheat flour–I used fine cornmeal instead–1/4 c. nutritional yeast, and a teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. And I think I quartered these measurements at least.
That tofu looks perfectly delicious, as do the mushrooms.
Looking forward to seeing the cake.

Thanks! The tofu WAS delicious– it was frozen, then marinated, then breaded and fried: this amounts to more intense tofu attention than I usually pay, but it was worth it!
