Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

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

  2. 2

    Coat the Tofu

    In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch until they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tofu

    Carefully add the coated tofu cubes to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat the Thai sweet chili sauce over low heat until warm.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried tofu drizzled with warm sweet chili sauce. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts and sesame seeds on top.
