Golden Fried Tofu Bites Recipes
CRISPY TOFU BITES
Steps:
- Drain the tofu on a wire rack for at least one hour.
- Set the tofu on a few layers of paper towels and cut it into 9 cubes. Sprinkle them evenly on all sides with the salt.
- Grate the ginger into a pan and then gather up the pulp and squeeze out as much juice as you can into the pan. Discard the pulp.
- Add the grated garlic, mirin, soy sauce, and black pepper to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue boiling until the sauce just starts to thicken and it no longer smells like alcohol (about a minute after it comes to a full boil). Transfer the sauce to a bowl and set aside.
- To fry the tofu, heat 2-inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 360 degrees F (180 C). Be sure to use a deep pot and don't fill it more than 1/2 way as the the moisture in the tofu will make the oil bubble a lot.
- Pat the tofu dry on all sides with fresh paper towels and carefully lower the tofu into the hot oil using tongs.
- Fry the tofu undisturbed for about 5-6 minutes or until you're able to pull the tofu away from the bottom of the pot without breaking it. Flip the tofu over and let it continue frying for another 5-6 minutes or until it's golden brown on all sides.
- Transfer the hot tofu straight into the bowl with the sauce and sprinkle on the sesame seeds. Toss to coat the tofu with glaze and then transfer the tofu to a serving plate.
- Garnish with more sesame seeds, black pepper, and chopped scallion greens.

Steps:
- Wrap tofu in a clean towel and place onto a plate. Set another plate on top, and place a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for about 20 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
- Cut tofu into 1-inch by 2-inch chunks. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt onto one slide; flip over and sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon on the other.
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet. To test if the oil is ready, dip a chopstick or wooden spoon in it; if bubbles rise, it is ready. If the oil smokes, it is too hot.
- Gently place 5 to 8 pieces of tofu at a time in hot oil using metal tongs. Be very careful as oil may splatter; use a splatter guard if possible. Fry tofu until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Drain tofu on a plate lined with several paper towels. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Steps:
- Drain the tofu, wrap in 4-5 sheets of kitchen paper, put on a plate and put something heavy over the top, like a wooden chopping board, or a tray with a few tins on it. Leave for 20 mins to drain the excess moisture from the tofu.
- Mix the cornflour, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Unravel the tofu from the paper, cut in half through the centre, then cut into triangles, cubes or strips.
- Toss the tofu pieces in the spiced cornflour to coat all over. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the tofu for 2-4 mins on each side until golden, crunchy and browned at the edges. Smaller cubes will take 2 mins each side, larger triangles will take 4 mins. Cook in batches if you need to, adding a little more oil if the pan gets dry.
- Drain the cooked tofu on kitchen paper and season with a pinch more salt before serving.

25 SIMPLE TOFU RECIPES - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com

- Pan-Fried Sesame Garlic Tofu. To pan-fry tofu until it’s crispy, you’ll need firm tofu. Not only that, but you’ll also need to press it. Tofu is usually full of excess moisture, and if you don’t get rid of that, the dish will wind up mushy and gross.
- Honey Sriracha Tofu. Since this dish calls for honey, it’s not 100% vegan. If you want it to be, just swap the honey for agave or brown sugar. Though you could leave it out, I find Sriracha can be overwhelming after a few bites.
- Tofu Stir-Fry with Vegetables in a Soy Sesame Sauce. Since tofu is so often cooked as part of a stir-fry, pressing it is vital. If you leave any excess moisture in the block, everything will steam instead of fry, and you won’t get a nice crispy finish.
- Crispy Tofu Without Deep-Frying. When you eat crispy tofu in a restaurant, more often than not, it’s been deep-fried for maximum texture. If you don’t have a deep fryer or don’t want the added calories, try lightly frying in a non-stick pan instead.
- Crispy Air Fried Tofu. Want something even healthier? How about crispy tofu made with minimal oil right in the air fryer? Air fryers work by rushing hot air around food through convection heat.
- General Tso’s Tofu. I’m sure that General Tso’s is something we’ve all had, and it’s a big favorite in my house. I usually have it with battered, crispy chicken when I feel like something naughty.
- Sweet and Sour Tofu. Sweet and sour is one of those dishes that you can easily serve to a family or crowd. Kids and grown-ups alike love it, and it’s easier than you think to recreate at home.
- Asian Garlic Tofu. Hoisin sauce is like Asian BBQ, and by that, I mean you can put it on anything, and it will taste amazing. It’s deeply flavorful and rich, not to mention excellent with everything from chicken and tofu to beef and pork.
- Easy Tofu Tacos. I’ve talked a lot about pressing excess mixture out of tofu, so it holds its shape. But did you know you can crumble it too? When you crumble it and cook with the right spices, it tastes just like ground beef tacos.
- Teriyaki Tofu. This recipe is all about the sauce. Start by cooking the tofu until crispy, then remove it from the pan and set it aside. Next, cook the ginger for a minute or so before adding the onions.

- Advance prep: Drain and remove tofu from package. Slice the block of tofu into two 1/2 inch thin planks and place on a stack of 4-5 folded paper towels, placing an additional stack of paper towels on top. Set something heavyish on top (I use a cast iron skillet) to make a make-shift tofu press for water removal. Allow to sit. I usually start my tofu about 30 minutes before I want to start cooking.
- Mix cornstarch with garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the tofu and gently toss until evenly coated and no powdery spots remain.

- Press the tofu if you would like to remove excess water and thus, make a more crisp tofu nugget as a result. The tofu, not matter whether or not pressed, should be cut into 1/2 inch bite sized squares.
- I suggest using two shallow bowls to make this recipe. In the first bowl, place the vegan egg. The second bowl should have almond flour that has been whisked or mixed with the seasonings (paprika etc).
