I made a tofu version of one of my favourite cauliflower recipes so here’s some some Crispy Tofu with a Sweet Scallion Sauce! Full recipe for the crispy tofu below ?? You can fry/bake the tofu and enjoy them with sweet scallion sauce or your dip of choice. I’m still also not sure (and can’t decide) whether I like this recipe in tofu or cauliflower version ? if you try this out and have tried the cauliflower one too, please let me know which one you like more!
Hope you have a great Friday and weekend ahead!
Crispy Tofu with Sweet Scallion Sauce
Serves 2-3 people
Crispy Tofu
3 blocks (240g each), extra firm tofu
Canola or other neutral oil, for frying
Batter:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp corn starch
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup room temp. water
Breading:
2 cups Japanese breadcrumbs or breadcrumbs of choice
Steps (Baking options below!)
1. Drain water from the tofu by wrapping them in paper towels and then placing a heavy flat surface (a board or plate) on top of each. Leave for 15 minutes until water has been absorbed by the towels. Slice the tofu into any shape you like but i sliced mine into rectangles.
2. In a bowl, mix the ingredients for the batter until it turns into a smooth, thick consistency. In another bowl or plate, add in the bread crumbs.
3. One by one, dip each tofu into the batter then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Coat well using one hand (this is to avoid messy hands—I usually use one hand for dry and one hand for wet when coating). Press down the bread crumbs on the tofu. Set aside once coated.
4. Heat a frying pan with some oil. Once hot (you can add in some bread crumbs to test the heat—it will start to bubble once hot), place the tofu and cook until golden brown, moving it around on each side every 2 minutes or so.
5. Once golden brown, set aside to drain excess oil or you can put this on a plate with paper towels. Let cool for a few mins then enjoy w/ sweet scallion sauce or your fave dipping sauce!
Baking: Heat oven to 350F. Brush tofu with a oil. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until crisp. Flip halfway through.
