1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup unsweetened soymilk or other plant milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil

1. Slice tofu into 8 slices. Lay flat inside a kitchen towel that covers tofu completely. Cover with a baking sheet and set a 3 – 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for about 30 minutes.
2. Combine cornstarch, flour, chicken-style seasoning, garlic powder, and cayenne powder in a shallow bowl. Pour soymilk into another bowl.
3. Cut each slice of tofu in half, for 16 “wings” total. Dip each slice in soymilk; roll into the cornstarch mixture. Place coated slices on a plate
4. Heat oil in large fry pan over medium heat. Add the coated tofu slices. Fry, flipping halfway, until crispy on all sides, 7-10 minutes.
