Crispy Tofu

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Tofu

Drain the firm tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess water. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.

2

Coat the Tofu

In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Toss the tofu cubes in the mixture until evenly coated.

3

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4

Fry the Tofu

Add the coated tofu cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches.

5

Add the Hot Sauce

Once the tofu is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Drizzle Lee’s hot sauce over the crispy tofu and toss to coat.

6

Serve

Serve the crispy tofu immediately, garnished with additional hot sauce if desired.
