Instructions
- 1
Press the tofu blocks between layers of paper towels and set a heavy skillet or cutting board on top for at least 10 minutes, until most surface moisture is removed. Slice each block lengthwise into 4 cutlets, about 1/2 inch thick, for 8 cutlets total.

Whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge each tofu cutlet in the flour mixture, pressing gently so it adheres on both sides, then shake off any excess.
