Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
- Toss the cubed tofu in a bowl with cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Fry the tofu cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Once crisp, drizzle with soy sauce and sprinkle garlic powder and ground ginger, tossing gently to coat.
- Serve hot on paper towels to absorb extra oil.
Notes
- Experiment with different seasonings or marinades like teriyaki or miso for added flavor.
- For a healthier option, bake the tofu at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
