Crisp Deep-fried Tofu

I wanted to try a unique tofu recipe, so I tried making this. Once drained, the tofu crumbles easily, and it becomes very hot after frying, so handle it carefully.
Step 3 - While the tofu needs to be drained, you don't need to wipe the excess water from the surface. Make sure to sprinkle plenty of katakuriko on the tofu, but don't sprinkle so much that it becomes bulky.
Step 5 - Garnished with green onions or grated daikon radish gives this a refreshing touch. I also recommend trying it with different sauces. Recipe by Kogekogepan

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! 😎 Berlian Utami -

Deep-frying tofu is too much work, so I shallow-fried the tofu. I made it because I wanted to recreate a dish I used to have at a Japanese pub.It's a shame that I didn't have 'momiji oroshi' (spicy grated daikon radish) this time.You only need to fry the top and bottom of the tofu pieces at Step 3. You don't have to fry the sides.It's also delicious with 'momiji oroshi' (spicy grated daikon radish).I recommend eating this with cooked soba noodles. They're pretty tasty together. For 2 servings.
