CRISPY TOFU (VEGAN)
CRISPY TOFU (VEGAN)
Crispy Tofu
Serve: 1
Ingredients:
150 gram Extra firm tofu – cut in cubes or triangle shapes
200 milliliter Vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon Bouillon powder (vegan)
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Method
-Lay the tofu on a clean surface i.e. chopping board or plate. Use a kitchen towel to absorb the liquid as much as you can. I press the tofu for approx 2 hours prior to cooking.
-Season the tofu with the bouillon powder, sea salt and ground black pepper.
-Heat the oil to 170 celsius. Fry the tofu chunks until they become golden brown and look crispy on the outside. Usually takes approx 3-5 minutes.
-Remove from the pan and put the cooked tofu on a dry kitchen towel to absorb the excess oil.
-Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce.
Tip:
– Don’t have a cooking thermometer or deep fat fryer? Use a small milk pan instead, then put the tofu in whilst the oil gently bubbles. Think about champagne bubbly. Make sure you keep an eye on the frying tofu at all times.
-I tended to press the tofu to release the liquid, prior to the cooking. Click here to see how How to press the tofu. The less moisture, the crispier it will become.
