Tell me the secret to buffalo flavoring for fried tofu! I’ve got the crisp coating down pretty well using either potato or corn starch but I’m missing some sort of almost smoky-peppery flavoring that is so textbook of, say, Tyson chicken strips or something. I feel I’ve stumbled across it once or twice but never actually isolated the spice.
Obviously I’ve dumped tons of garlic, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne powder, and no amount of frank’s does the trick lol.
Second to that I’m trying to remake an Americanized Korean Hot sauce I had before that is definitely one part frank’s and I think gochugang but again, missing something else.
Good suggestion! I did try that but unfortunately it didn’t seem to be it. Unless I just didn’t put enough in.
I think I stumbled across it somehow with air frying pickled jalapeños alongside the tofu but couldn’t replicate it. Not sure if it had to do with the vinegar or crisped/burnt jalapeño, etc.

I’m no chef but… smoked paprika? Sounds like it could fit the bill, maybe.

Liquid smoke? Start with ml amounts.
