Instructions
1
|
Halve the tofu lengthwise and place it between two layers of kitchen paper or a clean dish towel. Press firmly on the tofu block to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Then cut the tofu into 0.5-centimeter-thick slices and cut these slices into approximately 2- to 3-centimeter cubes, resulting in thin rectangles.

|
Place cornstarch in a bowl or deep plate and carefully roll the tofu slices in it using a dough scraper, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.

|
Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and spread it evenly. Place the tofu pieces side by side in the pan and fry over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the underside is golden brown and crispy.

Meanwhile, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and ketchup in a bowl. Slice the spring onions into thin rings.

Once the tofu is golden brown and crispy on the bottom, flip it and fry for another 3 to 5 minutes on the other side. Once the other side is also golden brown, reduce the heat to low, add the sauce, and stir-fry for 30 to 60 seconds until the sauce has thickened slightly, has a sticky consistency, and all the tofu pieces are evenly coated. Serve the tofu with the spring onions and your choice of side dishes.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Tofu Pressing Perfection 🧊Wrap tofu in clean kitchen towels and place a heavy skillet on top for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispier exterior when frying.
- Cornstarch Coating Technique 🥣Use a fine-mesh sieve to dust tofu with cornstarch for an ultra-even, light coating that creates maximum crispiness without clumping.
- Sauce Balance Mastery 🥄Taste and adjust your sauce before adding to tofu - the perfect balance comes from slightly increasing Sriracha or rice vinegar to cut through the sweetness.
- Oil Temperature Control 🔥Heat canola oil to exactly 350°F for optimal tofu frying - use a thermometer to ensure golden, crispy exterior without burning.
- Green Onion Pro Tip 🌱Slice green onions on a sharp diagonal for more surface area and a more elegant presentation when garnishing the final dish.
