This is 5 ingredients dairy free tofu churros recipe. You will not tire your hand whisking thick dough in a pan over heat as traditionally way to make. Only you need is combine all ingredients in a bowl and fry them into a frying pan with a little oil.
By the way, summer is full swing now in Japan. Everyday is sunny and roughly 39 degrees at highest temperature. Air conditioning works for 24 hours that I don’t want to face my electricity bill. I tend to reach sugared iced coffee and sweets. But I don’t need too many calories because summer vacation is just around the corner! I want to stay fit when I put on a swimwear.
If you think the same way, there will be no reason not to make healthy tofu churros for the summer snack! Personally, it is the best tofu recipe among I uploaded on this site. This tofu churros are very light and fluffy. Inside is well moist by soybeans effect and outside is crispy as you can see on the photographs.
Some of you can’t be bothered to cleanup after deep fried cooking, but don’t worry this recipe required only about 1 cm of vegetable oil over the frying pan. Other ingredients are silken tofu, flour, baking powder and honey. I went to white chocolate Matcha green tea sauce, but you can have more of choice with cinnamon sugar, simply sugar glaze and dark chocolate sauce for dipping.
It is really delicious so i’m planning to make regular basis. I hope you enjoy highly recommended easy, simple and healthy churros recipe.
