Deep Fried Crispy Tofu

Deep Fried Crispy Tofu is a simple dish of cubed tofu deep fried to have a very crispy shell and moist soft insides, usually served with a dip of soy sauce and or vinegar.

A lot of people don’t like tofu, my wife included, I do sort of understand them since tofu is bland and the texture is quite funny but if its cooked correctly then the chances of liking it would be higher. Today we will not be preparing tofu with some tasty sauce but we will just simply deep fry it, to a very crispy state and serve with a soy ginger dip, inspired by the stinky tofu I saw on one cooking show, which I can’t make at home otherwise the neighbours will complain.
