Ingredients
- 400 g firm tofu
- cooking oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Drain 400 g firm tofu and cut it horizontally into four thin slices.
- Wrap them in kitchen paper.
- Then wrap with a clean tea towel.
- Place them on a plate and weigh down with a heavy object, then rest in the refrigerator overnight.
- Preheat a deep pot of cooking oil to 120 °C (248 °F). Take the tofu from the refrigerator, unwrap it and pat it dry with fresh kitchen paper.
- Once the oil is heated, add the tofu slices to the pot and fry for 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Use a mesh spoon to transfer the tofu to a wire rack, then increase your oil temperature to 160 °C (320 °F). Place the tofu back into the oil and fry until lightly golden, turning occasionally for even coloring.
- Transfer to a wire rack and allow any excess oil to drain off.
- Cool before use or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Enjoy with soup, udon or sushi!
