Step 2

Place tofu on a flat work surface and cut into approximately 16 'nuggets.'
Step 3

Mix milk, mustard, garlic salt, onion powder, and pepper together in a bowl. Pour break crumbs into a separate bowl. Dip each nugget into the milk mixture and roll into the bread crumbs, coating completely.
Step 4

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add nuggets; cook, flipping halfway, until golden brown, about 7 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You can also spray these nuggets with cooking spray, place on a lightly greased baking sheet, and bake in the oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), turning halfway through cook time.
