Ingredients
Instructions
- Preparation: Place the tofu in the freezer and freeze it a day before using it. When ready, take it out of the freezer and let it thaw naturally.
- Marinate: Drain the water from the tofu, then tear it into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Add the garlic ginger soy sauce, mix well, and marinate for about 5 minutes.
- Pan-fry: Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan. Take each piece of tofu, squeeze out any excess moisture, coat it with potato starch, and fry in the pan until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the fried tofu to a wire rack to drain off any excess oil.
Notes
- If the tofu starts to crumble when squeezing out the water, mix in a bit of potato starch. This will help the tofu hold together better, making it easier to handle and pan-fry.
- Garlic ginger soy sauce is a versatile homemade sauce. For a quicker alternative, mix soy sauce with grated garlic and ginger.
