This fried tofu appetizer is crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Serve it hot right from the frying pan. It really loses a lot of flavor when cold.

* 1 cup of cornmeal
* 1 1/2 cup unbleached all purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon paprika

* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (or to taste)
* 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
* 3/4 cup canola oil for frying (or your favorite)
Directions
1. Combine cornmeal and spices in a large mixing bowl, set aside.2. Put the vegan beer in a large bowl and slowly mix in the flour until you get a batter (like pancake batter). Set aside.
3. Place the tofu on paper towels and squeeze out excess liquid.
4. Slice the tofu into 1/4 inch thick pieces.
