Cooking Instructions
- 1
Open and drain water out of tofu package. Use paper towels to firmly squeeze dry the tofu. Any water on tofu will pop and splatter all over when frying.
- 2
Sliver diagnally on one side of tofu, not too deep, flip and slice opposite diagnally on the other side. Optionally can make slits all around. Put on plate.
- 3
In small bowl, add lemongrass, salt, hot pepper, tumeric. Mix well. Wear gloves to gently put mixture in slits of tofu. Tumeric will stain hands.
- 4
Can let it sit in fridge to marinate it better, or just fry it if in a hurry. Flip tofu on both sides when frying. Serve with rice and vegetables. (I like to leave it in bag to marinate and fry only what i plan to eat)

Indonesian Style Fried Tofu Indonesian Style Fried Tofu
See that golden blocks on the right top? It is called tofu and it's delicious!Tofu is made of soya milk and therefore it's vegan, rich in protein, and cheap. However, it is quite difficult to cook it because it's natural flavour is plain. It has not so much taste, white pale color, and subtle smell.I've had a lot of tofus in my life and as I remember, the tofus I had were great because of something else that came with them: the sauce, the coating wheat, or vegetables that were the ingredients of the dish besides the tofu itself.And oh, yes, they were deep fried. Everything tastes great when it's deep fried.Being Dutch, limiting eating deep fried stuffs, and doesn't consume as much tofu as I do as an Indonesian, my husband never thinks of tofu as an appealing dish. So when he finally sees it that way, I am more than eager to share this recipe.Keep reading because I am revealing the secret on the last step! 😎
