Tips:

  • To achieve the best texture for your tofu squares, make sure to press out excess water before cooking. This will help them become crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the tofu squares in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tofu squares. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a neutral-flavored oil, such as canola or vegetable oil, for frying the tofu squares. This will prevent the oil from overpowering the delicate flavor of the tofu.
  • Serve the tofu squares immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. They are also delicious served over rice or noodles.

Conclusion:
