Vegan Chicken Fried Tofu
When I used to eat meat, I would eat chicken fried steak. So my thought here is to re-create the concept, but as chicken fried tofu. This creates a traditional southern dinner served vegan, which is much better! If you’ve had this dinner in the past, I hope you enjoy this vegan version!
