Instructions
-
Preparation of Tofu: Begin by taking the firm white tofu and gently draining it to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu into cubes or triangles, depending on your preference.
-
-
Coating the Tofu: In a bowl, place the Sajiku flour. Take each piece of tofu and dip it into the flour, ensuring that it is evenly coated. This step is essential for achieving that delightful crispy texture.
-
Heating the Oil: In a frying pan, heat a generous amount of cooking oil over medium-high heat. You’ll know the oil is ready when a small piece of tofu sizzles upon contact.
-
Frying the Tofu: Carefully place the coated tofu into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the tofu until it turns a beautiful golden-brown color and becomes crispy, usually about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Draining Excess Oil: Once the tofu is crispy and golden, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the oil. Place the fried tofu on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
-
Serving: Serve the crispy tofu warm as a snack or appetizer. You can pair it with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, or a tangy vinegar dip for added flavor.
Conclusion
Enjoy the crispy, golden perfection of your homemade Tahu Crispy. This dish not only showcases the versatility of tofu but also highlights how a few simple ingredients can create a delicious treat that is sure to impress your family and friends. Happy cooking, and selamat mencoba (happy trying)!
