I first tried salt and pepper tofu at a popular Melbourne restaurant earlier this year. I have had MANY people ask me how I pan fry my tofu and get it so crispy and firm. There are a few reasons why:-). First I either use a non-stick or cast iron pan, I don't overcrowd the surface, I drain my tofu REALLY well, use only extra firm Chinese style and MOST important of all, I leave it undisturbed while cooking and this allows the golden crust we all love on pan-fried tofu to develop!

Instructions to make Salty Fried Firm Tofu:
  1. Thoroughly drain the water from the firm tofu. Add the ☆ ingredients into a bowl and mix together. Sprinkle cake flour onto a plate. Form the mixture in the bowl into bite-size balls and roll around on the plate to cover them with the flour.
  2. Add plenty of oil into a frying pan and heat. Form the balls into nugget shapes and fry in the oil.
  3. To remove the moisture from the tofu I place the tofu onto a plate without plastic wrap and heat in a microwave at 600W for 2 minutes. Place a chopping board or slightly heavy bowl on top of the tofu when it has cooled.
  4. The batter is too soft so you can wet your hands, shape it into a ball, roll on the plate and fry it like that.
  5. Ready to serve and ENJOY!
