Categories     Appetizers and Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
½ teaspoon salt
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Wrap tofu in a clean towel and place onto a plate. Set another plate on top, and place a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for about 20 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
  • Cut tofu into 1-inch by 2-inch chunks. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt onto one slide; flip over and sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon on the other.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large skillet. To test if the oil is ready, dip a chopstick or wooden spoon in it; if bubbles rise, it is ready. If the oil smokes, it is too hot.
  • Gently place 5 to 8 pieces of tofu at a time in hot oil using metal tongs. Be very careful as oil may splatter; use a splatter guard if possible. Fry tofu until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Drain tofu on a plate lined with several paper towels. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

TWICE-COOKED CRISPY FRIED TOFU



Twice-Cooked Crispy Fried Tofu image

When I can't get kosher meat, I simply do without but today I just craved something meaty. I had a pack of extra-firm tofu in the fridge and this is what I did with it. Baking the tofu before frying helps to crisp it up and imparts the meatiness I was seeking. My BFF thought it was fish at first glance. He is not into foreign foods but he was very enthusiastic about these yummy little bites when served with dipping sauce.

1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu, drained
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons cornstarch

¼ teaspoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Season tofu with salt and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Mix cornstarch, paprika, thyme, and seasoned salt together to make cornstarch seasoning.
  • Pat any excess moisture off the tofu. Sprinkle cornstarch seasoning evenly over top. Arrange on a baking sheet.

GOOEY FRIED TOFU



Gooey Fried Tofu image

This is a wonderful recipe! It was an inspiration from Mark Bittman's book, How To Cook Everything. I make it when I'm in the mood for fried chicken but want something a little healthier. I've tried using barbecue sauce for dipping but the hoisin sauce really makes the dish. I have also used firm tofu for this and it works but my husband and I have agreed that soft or silken is best!

Provided by Curry in California

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb extra-soft tofu
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
1 cup ice cold water
peanut oil or other frying oil
hoisin sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Wrap the tofu in paper towels and place a plate on top of it.
  • Place a weight (I use a can of soup or my cast iron griddle) on top of the plate to squeeze all of the water out of the tofu.
  • Let it sit for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Pour about 3 inches of oil into a pan for frying and heat until it reaches 350 degrees.
  • Place seasoning salt, garlic powder, and pepper on a plate and mix it with 1 cup of the flour.
  • In a seperate bowl, mix the icy cold water with the egg yolk and soy sauce and then stir in the other 1 cup of flour.
  • Do not over mix.
  • Cut the tofu into squares of about 1 inch by 1 inch.
  • When the oil is hot enough, immerse the tofu into the dry flour mixture, then thoroughly cover with the wet flour mixture.
  • Shake off the excess and place in the hot oil.
  • Stir and turn the pieces until they are golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Serve with hoisin sauce for dipping.
