So, fish custard. I veganized it. And then I ate it. It was…interesting.
If you’re a Whovian (or a WHOVEGAN), you know what this is all about. If not…well, you probably don’t have a clue what the raxacoricofallapatorius I’m talking about.
Sorry, that was another Doctor Who reference.
Ah. That’s what I’m talking about. Epic nerdery.
It goes like this: 907 year-old time traveling alien steps out of blue police box that fell out of the sky into back garden. Time traveling alien has new body. New mouth, new rules. New mouth hates to eat everything except fish fingers and custard.
Curious Whovians world over try eating fish custard.
This Whovegan figured someone should probably try making vegan fish custard. It’s gluten free, too!
Moral of the story is, if you watch Doctor Who, you should try this. If you don’t watch Doctor Who…you should really be watching Doctor Who. Even my mother liked it. Doctor Who. I didn’t make her try fish custard. I don’t think she’d like that.
Aaaaaanyway
RECIPES! HUZZAH!
Tofu Fish Fingers
- 1 package extra firm tofu, cut into 1/2 inch thick fingers
- 2/3 cup corn meal
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 tbsp dulse flakes
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried dill
- 1/2 tsp blck pepper
- 1/3 cup coconut/soy/almond milk
- olive oil
Pre-heat oven to 400F.
Combine all dry ingredients in a blender.
Blend until oats + sunflower seeds are a really coarse flour texture. Pour out onto a plate.
Pour milk into a small dish.
Slice tofu into fish finger shapes, about 1/2 inch thick – length really depends on the size / shape of your tofu block. My fingers were short. Umm.
Dip tofu into milk, toss in flour mixture to coat.
Place fingers on an oiled baking tray, and sprinkle tops with a bit more olive oil. Bake 15 minutes. Flip ‘em over, bake another 10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Dip in custard! Pretend you are traveling through space! and time!
Custard
- 2 small avocados
- 1 banana
- 1/3 cup coconut/soy/almond milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or agave
- 1/4-1/2 tsp turmeric
- couple drops vanilla extract
Combine ingredients in food processor or blender until smooth. Dip fish fingers in. Or do, like, normal, boring, dessert-like things with your custard. Whatever. I’m not going to judge you.
Ok. So. Remember that time I made Harry Potter-inspired Faux Dragon?
