Crispy Tofu
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare Tofu
Drain the firm tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu into cubes or rectangles, depending on your preference.

Season Tofu
In a bowl, mix together cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss the tofu pieces in the mixture until they are well coated.
- 3
Heat Oil
In a large frying pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Fry Tofu
Carefully add the tofu pieces to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove the tofu from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.
