Crispy Tofu:
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the pressed tofu into cubes, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the non dairy milk & apple cider vinegar.
  3. In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, and salt. Then, whisk the milk and vinegar mixture into the dry ingredients until fully combined. In a separate bowl, add the panko.
  4. Dip each tofu cube into the wet batter, then roll in the panko to fully coat. Place each coated tofu on a baking sheet sprayed with non stick spray. Spray the tops of the tofu with more non stick spray and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping after about 10 minutes. Bake until crispy and light brown.
Mashed Potatoes:
  1. While the tofu is baking, make the mashed potatoes. Peel the potatoes if you want, chop into small cubes and add them to a pot of water and bring to a boil. Boil until the potatoes are tender / smash easily. ~15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes, return to the pot, smash them with a potato smasher (ricer/mixer). Add the vegan butter, non dairy milk, s & p then whip it all together until creamy. Set aside.
Gravy:
  1. In a skillet, melt the vegan butter, whisk the flour in to form a paste (aka a roux). Then add the veggie broth, whisk to fully dissolve the roux into the veggie broth. Make sure there are no lumps.
  2. Bring to a simmer, whisking for a few minutes until it thickens. Then whisk in the poultry seasoning and salt & pepper. Remove from heat.
  3. Once everything is done, scoop some mashed potatoes into a bowl, top with crispy tofu, corn, veggies and drizzle gravy over the top.
