Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 blocks of medium firm tofu (around 4 ounces per block)
  • 2 cups neutral oil

Instruction

  • Rinse the tofu under cold water. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel, or paper towel, and pat it dry. Slightly press using your hands to remove excess water.
  • Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan, I recommend using a deep one so the oil doesn't spit out. Check if the oil is hot enough by dipping a wooden chopstick or spatula in the oil. If the oil bubbles around it, it is ready for frying.
  • Carefully transfer one block of tofu in the oil and fry for about 3 minutes, or until the tofu is golden. Depending on the type of tofu used, this step might take up to 15 minutes. Flip it once halfway through frying.
  • Next, using a slotted spoon, transfer the tofu to a plate lined with kitchen paper towel to remove excess oil.
  • Repeat with the remaining tofu, frying one at a time.
  • Fried tofu will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Use in stir-fries, soups, wraps, salads, etc!
