Pan Fried Crispy Tofu with simple Soy Sauce ｜香煎脆皮豆腐

You can certainly use medium or soft tofu in this recipe. I used the firm one because I only had it on hand. To retain the shape of the tofu without breaking it, try not to flip or move it during frying until it forms the crispy skin. You may find the tofu kind of sticking the pan initially, yet it will come off once the crispy skin develops.

I hope you enjoy this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

1 block Firm Tofu, patted dry, cut into equal size

2 tablespoons Mirin

2 tablespoons Light Soy Sauce

Cilantro (optional)

5 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

DIRECTION:

1. Heat up oil over medium-high heat.

2. Gently slide the tofu in the pan, baking sure they are not overlapping. Fried until golden and crispy; about 5 minutes. Flip the tofu onto the other side and fry for another minutes. Transfer it to a serving plate.

3. Drizzle mirin and soy sauce over the tofu; serve with a generous amount of cilantro if prefer.
