Alternatively, you can use a yellow onion.

Flour the schnitzel or thicken the sauce with starch:
You can also save yourself the trouble of flouring the schnitzel. Then bind the sauce with cold mixed starch.

The Tofu Schnitzel is even easier to prepare. The meat knocking is omitted, the sauce on basis of mushrooms and onion cubes prepare and as in the paragraph here described bind. Fry the tofu briefly in a ribbed pan at high heat.

Remark to the Tofu-Schnitzel picture in the article:
I served the dish with asparagus and potatoes, chopped the mushrooms and onions with very little soy cream in the food processor. This is how a kind of mushroom paste was created that tastes excellent. That would be another variation…

Chef’s secret tip:
This tip is only for smart people who read this post to the end…

You can refine the cream sauce with very little lemon dust. You will be enthusiastic about the taste of the sauce… promised!

Mushrooms sometimes get dirty in the kitchen.

The cooking school article Mushrooms wash and clean shows you a professionally proven method for clean mushrooms!

3. Tips for Preparing Classic Cream Schnitzel

To get in the mood, I have made an overview of the preparation here…

Tofu I grill very briefly in the grooved pan. So a nice pattern comes on the cut surfaces. You can see this in the picture above.

4. Tip for Vegan Cream Schnitzel

The present time brings with it many changes.

More and more people want to eat less meat or even do without animals completely.

The reasons are different: For example, the sluggish improvements in animal husbandry, associated with the demand to reduce animal suffering.

Or the health aspect: Eating little meat means creating balance.

Vegan cream schnitzel, a good idea if your guests don’t eat meat…

Tip from chef Thomas Sixt

I would like to show you a simple idea of how you can prepare the classic dish in a vegan or vegetarian version using the cream escalope.

One variant is to buy a vegetarian or vegan meat substitute.

But today I prefer smoked tofu. Instead of cream you can use soy cream.

The butter remains as an ingredient, for a vegan preparation simply leave it out.
