  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

The coating

  • ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  4. Set up three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with soy milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with spices.
  5. Coat each piece of marinated tofu in flour, then dip in milk, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
