Ingredients
- 1 lb tofu extra firm
- 6 tablespoon cornstarch or potato starch
- 1 large egg beaten
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Slice the block of tofu vertically into 1 cm thick pieces. Pat dry each piece on both sides with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This is important or your coating will fall off.
- Generously season each piece of tofu salt and garlic powder on both sides.
- Prepare breading station. In the first bowl, add cornstarch. To the second bowl, beat the eggs. To the third bowl, add panko breadcrumbs. Dredge the tofu into cornstarch, then beaten eggs, and lastly panko breadcrumbs. Make sure to coat the tofu on all sides, ensuring no bald spots.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. To test if oil is hot enough, place a wooden chopstick into the oil and if bubbles form then it's time to fry.
- Carefully lower breaded tofu into the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove from large pan and transfer to a wire rack or a paper towel lined plate to remove excess oil. Slice each piece on a cutting board with a knife and enjoy!
