I created a diet-friendly tofu dish using tofu. I used shirasu in the batter for added nutrition.

When you start to fry these the oil will splatter a bit so be careful.
I just use a small amount of oil, so cut the tofu about 2 cm thick.
To drain the excess water off the tofu, you just have to leave them on a sieve for about 15 minutes. You don't have to put a weight on them. Recipe by 1630412

    Pour about 1 cm of oil into a frying pan, and fry the tofu pieces for about 1 minute at 180℃. Turn over and fry for another 1 to 1 and a half minutes.

    When the batter is crispy and the tofu pieces are puffy, take them out and place on kitchen paper towels to drain, and they're done.
