This recipe proves that you can transform a brick of tofu and a few basic ingredients (panko, ketchup, Dijon mustard, maple syrup) into a meal that kids will clamour for. The smallest ones in the family might need their tofu sliced into sticks rather than larger chunks (finger food is always a fail-safe plan when kids are involved). Then just serve the zingy sauce on the side and watch as they dip the delectably crispy bites with abandon.
