A delightful twist on the classic salt and pepper tofu, these crispy bites are perfect for any occasion.
Press the tofu to remove excess water by placing it between paper towels and a heavy object for 15 minutes.
Pressing the tofu ensures it absorbs more flavor and achieves a better texture when cooked.
Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes.
Uniformly sized cubes ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tofu cubes with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
Marinating enhances the flavor of the tofu.
Toss the marinated tofu cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated.
Coating with cornstarch gives the tofu a crispy texture when fried.
Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Fry the tofu cubes in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Frying in batches prevents overcrowding and ensures even cooking.
Garnish the crispy tofu with chopped green onions and serve hot.
