THE BEST PAN-FRIED TOFU RECIPE - FOOD.COM



The Best Pan-Fried Tofu Recipe - Food.com image

I have had MANY people ask me how I pan fry my tofu and get it so crispy and firm. There are a few reasons why:-). First I either use a non-stick or cast iron pan, I don't overcrowd the surface, I drain my tofu REALLY well, use only extra firm Chinese style and MOST important of all, I leave it undisturbed while cooking and this allows the golden crust we all love on pan-fried tofu to develop! Please find detailed instructions below on how to make the best pan-fried tofu ever!

Total Time 16 minutes

Prep Time 4 minutes

Cook Time 12 minutes

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb extra firm tofu (extra firm only)
1 1/2-3 tablespoons canola oil or 1 1/2-3 tablespoons peanut oil
salt
cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Take your block of tofu and wrap it in several layers of paper towels.
  • Gently press the tofu with your hands or against the counter top to release the liquid. This will take about a minute.
  • Slice the tofu into pieces about 1/2 an inch thick.
  • Set tofu aside.
  • If you are using a non-stick pan heat it slightly on medium-high heat (about 30 seconds) before adding oil.
  • If you are using a cast iron pan, please heat for about 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes on medium-high heat. Cast iron is very thick and you want the pan to be heated evenly before adding the tofu.
  • Add oil to heated pan.
  • Gently spread oil over the entire surface of the pan.
  • Set the tofu pieces in the pan, leaving ample room between them. They should sizzle when placed in the oil. Sprinkle the tops with salt and a little cayenne pepper.
  • Now, the MOST IMPORTANT step is -- LEAVE THEM ALONE for about 6 or 7 minutes. Just gently shake them to make sure they don't stick to the pan. Do NOT turn them or agitate them in any other way. When you see a golden crust beginning to creep its way up the sides of the slices, turn them and spice the other side. Add more oil if the pan seems too dry.
  • The second side will only take about 4 minutes to cook.
  • When they are evenly browned take them out of the pan and place them on paper towels to drain.
  • These are very simply seasoned and basic and can now be used any way you like. I like these with steamed broccoli and peanut sauce -- or in a sandwich with grilled peppers and mushrooms and aioli -- or just eaten with ketchup:-).

FRIED TOFU RECIPE - SIMPLE CHINESE FOOD



Fried tofu recipe - Simple Chinese Food image

A while ago, I used an electric baking pan to make pancakes. In fact, it also has many functions. It is a grilling machine and can make a lot of delicious food. Today, I use it to fry tofu. The advantage of using this pan is that it is not easy to paste. No stick, fried tofu is very fragrant.
