Recipe - Tofu Fish Sticks

1 Kombu strip, 6 inches long
One half cup ;water
2 tablespoon Lemon juice
2 tablespoon Lime juice
2 tablespoon Tamari
1 teaspoon Tarragon
2 tablespoon Onion; grated
10 ounce Tofu, firm
3 Whole grain bread slices
2 Garlic cloves
4 Parsley sprigs
Egg replacer for 2 eggs

Wash the kombu and place it in a small saucepan with One half cup water. Bring
the water to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 10
minutes.

Remove the kombu from the broth and add the lemon juice, lime juice,
tamari, tarragon, and onion to the broth.

Slice the tofu into 6 slabs about 1/41/2" thick and about the size of
fish sticks.

Place the tofu in a shallow dish. Pour the broth over the tofu, trying to
distribute the onions evenly. Let this marinate for at least 30 minutes. If
desired, you may let the tofu marinate for several hours in the
refrigerator.

Tear the slices of bread into pieces and place them in a blender or food
processor. Gring the bread into fine crumbs. If you are using a food
processor, you may grind the garlic and the parsley in the food processor
along with the bread. However, if you are using a blender, you will
probably find it necessary to press the garlic and mince the parsley; then
add them to the crumbs and mix well.

Place the seasoned bread crumbs in a plate or shallow bowl. Remove the
tofu from the marinade (the liquid may be reserved to add to soups, sauces,
or to marinate more tofu). Dip the tofu first into the beaten egg and then
into the bread crumbs.

Place the breaded tofu on a welloiled cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until it is brown and crispy.

Serve these tofu sticks with a salad and a steamed vegetable. They are
also good in sandwiches with some horseradish, lettuce, and a slice of
tomato, or with catsup.

These don't really taste like fish sticks, but they do look like them.
