Tips:

  • Choose firm or extra firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape better when it's fried.
  • Press the tofu before frying. This will help remove excess water and make the tofu crispier.
  • Use a light hand when coating the tofu in the batter. Too much batter will make the tofu soggy.
  • Fry the tofu in hot oil. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the tofu. This will prevent the tofu from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the tofu immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
