tofu nuggets

Fried curd pieces

Tofu nuggets are bite-sized pieces of tofu, typically breaded and fried or baked to mimic chicken nuggets.

They serve as a plant-based alternative in vegetarian and vegan diets: The kids actually prefer tofu nuggets to the real thing.

Like other meat substitutes, they aim to replicate familiar textures and flavors without animal products.
