Instructions
-
Prepare the Tofu: Begin by cutting the firm tofu into small cubes. Rinse them under cold water to ensure they are clean, then allow them to drain completely.
-
Marinate the Tofu: In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic with a splash of water and the pinch of salt. Add the tofu cubes to this mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the tofu.
-
Mix the Coating: In a separate bowl, combine the tapioca flour, all-purpose instant flour, and chicken bouillon powder. Stir the mixture well until it is thoroughly combined.
-
Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat a generous amount of oil over low heat.
-
Coat and Fry the Tofu: Take a few marinated tofu cubes at a time and roll them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Gently place them into the hot oil. Fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain a consistent frying temperature. Repeat this process until all the tofu is cooked.
-
Serve: Once fried, remove the tofu from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm, garnished with chili powder or your favorite seasoning for an extra kick.
Enjoy your deliciously crispy tahu as a delightful snack or a side dish! 🌟
