This recipe from Tofoo combines crunchy batter and soft tofu to make a dream team. Serve it up with creamy, or minty peas and chips and it\u2019s sure to satisfy any urges for the real deal \u2014 you can even wrap it up in old newspaper for an authentic chippie experience.<\/p>\n<p>This recipe uses large slabs of tofu, but you can also cut the Tofoo into fingers to make crispy goujons for an alternative version. Try adding fresh mint to the peas instead of vegan cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, or regular cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche for a non-vegan, vegetarian alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Extracted from <em>The Tofoo Cookbook<\/em> by The Tofoo Co.

Drain the potatoes and dry really well with kitchen paper. Toss in 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Spread out over a non-stick baking tray and cook in the oven for 30 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.<\/p> <\/div> <p class=\"&quot;post-method-steps__subheading\" heading-6=\"\">Step 3<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;editor-content&quot;\"> <p>Meanwhile, cook the peas in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes, drain well and tip into a food processor with the cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche. Blitz until well combined. Alternatively, mash them together with a fork. Return to the pan and set aside.<\/p> <\/div> <p class=\"&quot;post-method-steps__subheading\" heading-6=\"\">Step 4<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;editor-content&quot;\"> <p>Pat the Tofoo once more with kitchen paper until very dry. Dust with the seasoned plain flour. Mix together the self-raising flour and seaweed, if using, then slowly whisk in the ale. Whisk until the batter is smooth and creamy.<\/p> <\/div> <p class=\"&quot;post-method-steps__subheading\" heading-6=\"\">Step 5<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;editor-content&quot;\"> <p>Heat about 8cm of oil in a saucepan pan to 180\u00b0C. (If you do not have a thermometer, add a square of bread to the oil, if it sizzles the oil is ready.) Take a piece of Tofoo and dip it in the batter to coat evenly, then carefully lower into the hot oil and cook for 2\u20133 minutes until golden and crispy. Repeat with the remaining three pieces.<\/p> <\/div> <p class=\"&quot;post-method-steps__subheading\" heading-6=\"\">Step 6<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;editor-content&quot;\"> <p>Gently reheat the peas.<\/p> <\/div> <p class=\"&quot;post-method-steps__subheading\" heading-6=\"\">Step 7<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;editor-content&quot;\"> <p>Serve the battered Tofish with chips and a spoonful of peas, and don\u2019t forget the lemon wedge for a squeeze of sharpness.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/li> <\/ul><\/div> <div class=\"&quot;row&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;template-article__additional-info&quot;\"> <p>Extracted from <em>The Tofoo Cookbook<\/em> by The Tofoo Co.
