Ingredients
- 2 pieces firm tofu (Can use firm or medium firm)
- ¼ cup sweet potato starch
- 1 tick green onion
- 2 tablespoons Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Dry 2 pieces of tofu with a paper towel.
- Dice the tofu into 9 small cubes.
- In a container, put ¼ cup sweet potato starch (It will have extra, so you can put 2 tablespoons at a time).
- Then, add the diced tofu and make sure all sides of the tofu are covered with sweet potato starch
- Pour 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a non-stick pan. When the oil is hot enough, put the tofu and pan fry them with medium small fire.
- Pan fry them for about 1-2 minutes each side. Make sure to turn the fire to medium small, so it will not burn them. Until it turns golden brown.
- Cut one stick of green onion.
- After that, put the pan fried crispy tofu on a plate and pour 1-2 tablespoons of homemade teriyaki sauce over and top with some green onion.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Personally, I like to use firm tofu for stir fried, pan fried or deep fried because they don’t break easily. (You can use medium firm or firm tofu.)
- Slightly press and use paper towels to absorb excess water or moisture from the tofu.
- If you want to make crispy tofu, the trick is to use sweet potato starch instead of cornstarch or flour. It creates a nice and crispy layer.
- I recommend using a non-stick pan, so the tofu will not stick on the pan when you pan frying them. Or, you can deep fry, air fry and bake it.
- I love to use homemade teriyaki sauce for this crispy pan fried tofu because of the sweetness and savory flavor.
