Heat the Oil

Fry the Tofu
Carefully add the tofu to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve
Place the fried tofu in a serving dish. Pour the hot sauce over it and garnish with sliced green onions, grated daikon, and shredded nori.
