Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
Directions
Drain tofu, place on a plate, and stack heavy plates on top of tofu to drain any remaining moisture, about 15 minutes. Slice into 24 bite-sized pieces.
Combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Toss tofu into the bag, seal, and shake to coat. Transfer tofu to a plate, shaking off any excess flour mixture.
Pour oil into a skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook tofu in hot oil, turning often, until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
Recipe Tip
When frying tofu, do not crowd the skillet; fry in batches if needed.
