Frying the Tofu

Frying the Tofu

Copyright Darlene A. Schmidt
Pour 1/2 to 1 cup canola or other high-heat oil into a wok or small frying pan. You want oil to be about 1 inch deep (if using a large pan, you may need more oil). You will also need tongs and some absorbant towels (or paper towel).

Place pan over medium-high heat. To test if your oil is hot enough, using tongs, dip a corner of a tofu cube into the oil. If it begins to sizzle and cook, the oil is ready.

When oil is ready, place cubes of floured tofu in the pan. Turn heat down slightly and fry the tofu. Using tongs, turn the tofu cubes after 1 minute. Cook until cubes are a light golden brown.
