Potato chip crisp on the outside and juicy and brimming with umami on the inside, this Karaage Tofu recipe makes a plant-based version of Japanese fried chicken that won’t leave you feeling like you’re missing something. By pressing the tofu and then marinating it in a mixture of amino acid rich ingredients, you end up with a vegan-friendly protein that’s loaded with umami.
