Tofu Nuggets and Slime

Prior to the start of vegan month, Katherine and I hit up our local Trader Joe's. In the process, I bought some firm tofu. Now, the last time I consumed tofu it was a bad experience. It had the consistency of flan without the flavor.
This time, I decided to give it another go. Mainly because it was taking up space in my refrigerator. So, my friend Anjelica and I went straight to the recipe on the BuzzFeed "Vegan Comfort Foods" list (on the recipe page), and gathered our ingredients.
The thing was, we did not have nutritional yeast. So, we looked up another recipe for the batter which called for breadcrumbs, cornstarch, and a flour/water mixture. Then spices, and fry.
First, the recipe said to dip some tofu nuggets into a flour and water mixture, then into cornstarch, then into more four and water mixture, then into breadcrumbs, then into frying pan.

What we found was that the flavor of the cornstarch showed through much more than what was intended. Our teeth were sticky with cornstarch afterwards, and all other flavors were blocked out.

The nuggets looked good, but if anyone could try to find a way to lessen that cornstarch texture and flavor, it would be extremely more enjoyable.

Nonetheless, here are some pictures that make the nuggets look delicious. Yay vegan!

Then, afterward, with the leftover cornstarch, I made slime! Which is totally not just for 8 year olds to play with!

Just a little cornstarch, water, and green food coloring.

Excuse the face, please

Side Note: Don't be discouraged by our many recent vegan recipe failures. Practice makes perfect, and if you don't try you'll never succeed. Plus, you might have a little fun in the process.

Power through till the end, fellow vegans, and have faith.
