Cornflour Is essential

Cornflour is the best ingredient to fry the tofu in because of how crispy the tofu turns out.

Do I need to press this tofu?

If this is your first time making tofu you’re probably wondering “what the heck is pressing tofu?” I was confused myself but don’t worry. Pressing tofu is just using a few sheets of paper towel or cloth between the tofu and pressing firmly to remove any excess water.

To answer the question it’s a no. I used extra firm tofu, and I did not need to drain any excess.

Ingredients Needed

All you need to make The Best Crispy Tofu is 3 simple but affordable ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 225g Smoked Tofu
• 1.5tbsp Cornflour
• Seasoning ( 1tsp cayenne pepper, 1tsp garlic powder and 1tsp jumbo/adobo seasoning)

What to serve with The Best Crispy Tofu?

This tofu is perfect to eat straight out of the pan (the best way to eat it haha) but here are a few ways to serve this tofu:

• In a veggie stuffed tortilla wrap smothered in bbq sauce (one of my favourite ways to eat this)
• Add the tofu to a spicy vegetable stir-fry
