Ingredients:
1 lb medium firm tofu ( the kind packed in water)
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon seasoning salt ( I use Hy’s)
1 -2 tablespoon peanut oil, for frying
Directions:
Rinse the tofu.
Place tofu on a plate, cover with two large heavy plates and let drain for 30 minutes.
Dry the tofu and cut into small bite-sized cubes.
(3/4 inch or less).
In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch and seasoning salt.
Carefully dredge the tofu bites in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure they are well-coated.
Fry, half at a time, in peanut oil at medium-high heat for about five minutes or until golden and crispy.
Repeat with other half of the tofu.
Best eaten piping hot as soon as they are cooked.
May be eaten plain, dipped into liquid honey, or they go very well with red Thai curry.
