Categories     Appetizers

Total Time 25 minutes

Prep Time 25 minutes

Yield Makes 24 fries

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package (14 ounces) extra-firm tofu, drained
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup safflower oil
Coarse salt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Sriracha
Chopped scallion greens and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut tofu crosswise into eight 1/2-inch slabs, then cut each slab lengthwise in thirds. Arrange tofu in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels. Top with more paper towels and another baking sheet; weight with canned goods. Let tofu drain, about 30 minutes.
  • Dredge tofu in cornstarch, patting with fingers to help adhere. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium. Add tofu in two batches; cook until very light golden, turning gently to cook all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels. Season immediately with salt.
  • Mix mayonnaise and Sriracha. Serve tofu with sauce, scallions, and lime wedges.

THE BEST CRISPY FRIED TOFU - SARAH'S VEGAN KITCHEN



The Best Crispy Fried Tofu - Sarah's Vegan Kitchen image

This recipe is just as good (if not better than) restaurant-style crispy tofu! Tofu is pressed and dredged in seasoned cornstarch, then fried until crisp. Perfect for dipping in any of your favorite sauces.

Provided by Sarah Sullivan

Total Time 25 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (12 oz) block medium, firm or extra-firm tofu
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup cornstarch
optional: 1/2 teaspoon each onion and garlic powder
vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Drain tofu and cut into cubes or desired shapes. Press for at least 30 minutes with a clean, lint-free kitchen towel or a few paper towels. (I recommend against skipping this step! The oil will splatter much more if there is a lot of excess liquid in your tofu, which can be dangerous. It can also take longer to crisp up.)
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together cornstarch, salt and pepper, and optional spices. Add in the pressed tofu and toss to thoroughly coat. (As a shortcut, I like to place all the ingredients in a container with a lid and shake it until the tofu is fully coated.) Let the tofu sit in the cornstarch mixture while you heat your vegetable oil.
  • In a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan, heat at least 1/2″ oil to 350°F. (I highly recommend using a thermometer to ensure the oil is hot enough! If it’s not, your tofu will take longer to fry and may not get as crispy. It will also retain more oil.) While the oil heats, prepare a tray with a wire cooling rack (my preference) or a paper towel-lined plate to let excess oil drip off.
  • Carefully add tofu to the oil and fry 3-5 minutes before flipping and frying for an additional 3-5 minutes. The cornstarch coating will be crispy and light golden brown when ready.
  • Remove to wire cooling rack or paper towel-lined plate. Toss with sauce of choice and serve while still hot and crispy.
