Method
Preparing the Tofu
- 1
Press the Tofu
Wrap the firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place a heavy object on top. Allow it to press for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Marinate the Tofu
Once pressed, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and place them in a bowl. Add the soy sauce and salt. Toss to coat and let marinate for 15 minutes.

Coat the Tofu
After marinating, sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu cubes and toss until they are evenly coated.
Frying the Tofu

Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the Tofu
Add the coated tofu cubes to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
