In another bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, salt, pepper, sage, and cayenne.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Take the tofu sticks out of the broth and squeeze out most of the liquid, leaving a little moisture.

Coat the sticks in the breading. You may need to roll them twice to get a fairly dry outer coating.
