Instructions
1
Make a marinade by mixing the soy sauce with the mustard, lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cut the tofu into cubes and marinate for as long as you can.
2
While the tofu is marinating, carefully wash the kale, remove the stem (this part is too tough, but you can save it to make broth), and slice the leaves into medium pieces. Wash and chop up the cherry tomatoes. Combine both ingredients in a large bowl.
3
Dip the tofu in a batter made from flour and water (in approximately equal parts) and then coat in breadcrumbs. Deep-fry in hot oil until golden on all sides. Remove from the oil, drain on paper towels, and arrange over the kale.
4
Make any dressing you like (see Tips and Tricks for a great option) and then serve.
