RECIPE

For this recipe you'll need:
• 250gr firm tofu
• 2tsp paprika powder
• 3tbsp cornstarch
• salt & pepper
• sunflower oil for frying

Start by pressing as much water out of the tofu as possible. If you have a tofu press, use that to press the whole block of tofu for 30 minutes and then cut it into bite size pieces. If you don't own a tofu press like me, cut the tofu into pieces first and then press them between a towel and cutting bord and put a heavy weight on top for 30 minutes. This way you can get way more water out of the tofu.

After the tofu has been pressed we'll add the toppings. Put the tofu in a bowl and add the cornstarch, the paprika powder and the salt and pepper and mix carefully until all the pieces are evenly coated. You can add any herbs you like at this point, I keep my seasonings really simple since I usually make a sauce to go with the tofu (see sauce recipes above).

Add a small layer of oil to a pan and heat this up until the oil is hot. When you put the tofu in the oil, the oil should start to bubble and that is when you know it's hot enough. If you put the tofu in the oil before it's hot, it won't get as crispy.

Fry the pieces for about 10 minutes on medium heat until the tofu is completely crispy (flipping the pieces after 5 minutes).

Once the tofu is done, take it out of the oil and let it leak out on a bit of kitchen paper towel. That's it! You can eat the tofu like this with some rice and veggies or make a sauce to go with it ( see recipe links for sauces above).
