Years ago, I learnt how to fry tofu from my friend Violet Shim, in Brunei. No one can fry tofu like Violet; even until today I can't replicate what she did to her tofu dish!
Anyway here's the simple dish that I cooked last night for our cell group fellowship. It's deliciously crispy on the outside; soft and warm inside, everyone complimented.
Slice tofu to bite-size.
I always use local white tofu from wet market.
Dredge each cut tofu in corn flour.
Shake off excess.
Fry in low heat oil.
Be patient.
Drain off oil when browned.
Tofu should be slightly bloated and crispy.
My homemade sauce is simple. Mix the following:
5 tbs of each (oyster sauce, Thailand sweet chilli sauce, water)
1 tbs honey
1 tbs corn oil, 1 tsp sesame oil
Pour sauce evenly over the hot tofu.
Garnish with bonito flakes.
Watch the flakes 'dance'.
That's it. Let us know your comments once you've tried!
