Went to get one box of 300 g firm tofu. Then search recipes using rice and corn flour recipes. Found a handful. This time it’s not tablespoon but 1/2 c cornflour and 1/8 c rice flour. There is a few using egg. Next time will try using egg. I am happy with the texture and brown colour. It was better than the last year fried tofu with tapioca flour and spices.

“Firm tofu is a dense, pressed soy product made from curdled soy milk. Because more water is pressed out than in silken or medium varieties, it holds its shape well when sliced, cubed, or stir-fried. It is a highly versatile, nutrient-dense ingredient that absorbs marinades easily. A half-cup of firm tofu contains around 22 grams of protein and provides all nine essential amino acids. Being cholesterol-free and low in saturated fats, it can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and reduce heart disease risk. When prepared with calcium sulfate, firm tofu becomes a rich source of bone-building calcium.”

I had my fried tofu with rice and vegetables. I also dip my fried tofu with chili sauce. It’s so good, beautiful and brown crisp. Let’s cook!!!!

Ingredients

350g firm tofu
1/2 c corn flour
1/8 c rice flour
1 Tsp garlic powder
1/2 Tsp 5 spice powder
1/2 Tsp ginger powder
salt
pepper

Method

Wrap your pressed tofu in a clean towel or paper towel and press it with a heavy object (like a cutting board) for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture. Slice tofu into bite-sized slightly thick square.

In a wide bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup corn flour, 1/8 cup rice flour, garlic powder, 5 spice powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Toss square tofu into the flour mixture until each piece is thoroughly coated. Let the tofu sit in flour mixture for 5 minutes so the flour mixture absorbs surface moisture and sticks better to tofu.

Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Shake off any excess flour. Place the tofu in the pan, ensuring tofu aren’t overcrowded. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use tong to pick up cook tofu and drain on paper towel plate. Repeat till all tofu are cooked and golden brown.

Switch off heat and move the pan away to cool oil. Save the oil in a container for cooking another dish. Serve fried tofu with rice, and vegetables. Enjoy with a glass of Sweet Moscato, white wine!!!
