Fried Tofu Ingredients
Method
Fried Tofu Directions
Prepare the Tofu
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture for about 15 minutes.
Cut the Tofu
Once pressed, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes or slices according to your preference.
Coat with Cornstarch
In a bowl, toss the tofu pieces with cornstarch until they are evenly coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Fry the Tofu
Carefully add the coated tofu to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
Drizzle with soy sauce and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
