THE BEST CRISPY TOFU

The Best Crispy Tofu image

The key to getting tofu nice and crispy is to first remove excess moisture. We wrap the block of tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy pan on top of it to press out as much water as possible. When searing the tofu, resist the urge to move it around. Instead, allow it to form a crust before flipping, and then again let it cook undisturbed on the other side until browned.

Ingredients

One 14-ounce block firm tofu, drained
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Juice of 1 lime
2 teaspoons agave syrup
2 scallions, white parts minced, green parts sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon sriracha
1/2 cup panko
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

Wrap the tofu in a clean dish towel and place on top of a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Place a heavy pan on top of the tofu and let it sit for 5 minutes to release as much moisture as possible. Unwrap the tofu and slice lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick by 1 1/2-inch-wide planks.
Whisk the soy sauce, lime juice, agave syrup, scallion whites and sriracha together in a small bowl and set aside. Mix the panko, sesame seeds, cornstarch, garlic salt, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a pie dish or shallow bowl. Press the tofu planks into the panko mixture to coat on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the tofu with a metal spatula and continue cooking undisturbed until a deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter.
Reduce the heat to low and add the soy-sauce mixture to the pan. Cook until bubbling and slightly thicker, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the tofu planks and sprinkle with the scallion greens.

Tips

To make the perfect tortoiseshell tofu, it is important to use firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help the tofu to hold its shape and not break apart when it is being cooked.
Before cooking the tofu, it is important to press it to remove excess water. This will help the tofu to brown and crisp up nicely.
When cooking the tofu, it is important to use a non-stick skillet or pan. This will help to prevent the tofu from sticking and burning.
Be careful not to overcook the tofu, as this will make it tough and rubbery.
Once the tofu is cooked, you can add your favorite sauce or marinade. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the tofu.

Conclusion

Tortoiseshell tofu is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great source of protein and can be used in a variety of recipes. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a more elaborate dish for a special occasion, tortoiseshell tofu is a great option.
