Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut tofu into bite-sized cubes.

  2. 2

    Coat the Tofu

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Tofu

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, gently add the coated tofu cubes. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the tofu is frying, thinly slice the radishes and jalapenos.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    In a large bowl, toss the crispy tofu with sweet chili sauce, radishes, and jalapenos. Serve immediately.
