1. Grease a baking tray to set your tofu in. Heat two cups of water in a thick large pan.

2. Stir the remaining cup of water with the flour and whisk until it’s a smooth batter and add in your seasoning.

3. Once the pan starts to simmer, pour the batter slowly into the pan, continuously whisking.

4. Keep stirring and turn the heat down slightly. Your batter should reach a thick and resistant consistency.
