When I heard about a fast-food restaurant’s hot & spicy chicken nuggets, I first made these Spicy Chicken & Tofu Nuggets. I simply added spices to the Chicken & Tofu Nuggets (https://cookpad.wasmer.app/uk/recipes/1871118-chicken-tofu-nuggets) to make them hot and spicy. I used Cayenne Pepper, but naturally you can use chilli of your choice.

Steps

1

Break down and mash Tofu, add other ingredients and make it into paste texture.
2

Divide the mixture and make flat nuggets. Put some oil on your hands to work as the mixture is very sticky.
3

Heat Oil to around 180C and fry the nuggets for 5 minutes or until nicely browned. Drain oil well on paper towel.
