Add the firm tofu to a food processor along with the salt. Process until the tofu transforms into a smooth and creamy consistency.
Transfer the tofu mixture to a large bowl and add oat flour. Mix with a spatula until combined.
Shape the dough into a ball using your hands.
Divide the dough ball into four equal portions for easier handling. Then, take one portion at a time and roll it into a long rope-like shape of desired thickness.
Use a sharp knife or a dough scraper dipped in oat flour to cut the ropes into small pieces, approximately 1/2 to 1 inch in length according to your preference.
Place the cut pieces on a tray dusted with oat flour. Repeat this process with the remaining portions of dough.
Cook the gnocchi in a pot with boiling salted water until they float to the surface, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once they float, use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked gnocchi from the pot, allowing any excess water to drain, and transfer them to a plate lightly oiled with olive oil.
At this point, you have two options: you can serve the gnocchi as they are with your favorite sauce, or you can give them a delicious crispy finish.
For a crispy texture, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Pan-fry the gnocchi for a few minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
Serve the tofu gnocchi hot with your preferred sauce or toppings!
