Choosing the Right Tofu
– Selecting the right tofu is an important first step. Opt for tofu made from soybeans and free from harmful additives.
– You can choose tofu that has been pre-fried in oil or go for fresh, hot tofu. Silken tofu is also a popular choice for frying. Look for tofu with a medium thickness, which will ensure a crisp, even texture and a golden color when fried.
1 Cut the Tofu into Small Cubes
To prevent tofu from sticking to the pan, rinse it in cold water to remove any dirt, then cut it into small, bite-sized cubes. Let the tofu air dry completely before frying. This will prevent oil splatter and ensure a crisp, golden finish.
2 Add Salt to the Oil
To further reduce sticking, add a small amount of salt to the oil as it heats up. Stir the salt with chopsticks until it dissolves, then carefully add the tofu cubes. Fry over low heat to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
3 Coat the Tofu in a Crispy Batter
Alternatively, you can coat the tofu cubes in a crispy batter before frying. This not only prevents sticking but also adds a delicious, crispy texture and enhances the flavor of the tofu.
4 Fry an Egg Before Frying the Tofu
Another trick is to fry an egg in the pan before adding the tofu. This creates a non-stick surface, allowing you to fry the tofu without worry of it sticking to the pan. Fry the tofu over low heat for the best results.
With these tips, you can confidently fry tofu to perfection, creating crispy, golden dishes that are sure to impress. Happy cooking!
