Simple Fried tofu instructions

1. Wrap paper towel around cube pf tofu and gently squeeze out water. Do tjis for all 4 cubes to avoid oil splatter when frying. Cut tofu to 1 × 1 × 1/2 inch square. I cut the tofu lengthwise in half, then quartered..
2. In one bowl, add 1/2 c. frying batter powder, 1/3 c. Water, pinch ground pepper and salt, mix to pancake consistency..
3. In another bowl, add 1 c. Panko bread crumbs. Dip tofu in batter then bread crumbs and put in hot frying pan with 1/2" oil. Fry one side until semi brown, flip and fry the other side. Remove tofu when semi brown onto plate with paper towel to soak extra oil..
4. Optional dipping sauce: In small bowl, add 2 tbs veg. Oyster sauce, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tbs water, 1/4 tsp ground pepper, 1 tsp sambal chili, 1/2 tsp sugar, mixed to your taste..

Crispy tofu is best served immediately as it loses its crispiness after half an hour I would say. Remove the tofu from its packaging and any liquid. Line a plate with a folded paper towel and set the tofu on top. I make crispy pan fried tofu almost weekly. My mother loved freshly made tofu.
