2. Combine the soy milk and egg in another bowl. 
3. Heat oil in a large sized frying pan. 
4. Press the tofu and then slice the block into four sheets. Use animal shaped cookie cutters to make animal tofu bites. 
5. Take your animal bites and coat with the soy milk mixture, then coat with the dry mixture.
