Cooking with Tofu - How to Make Fried Tofu (gluten-free)

Frying the Tofu

D.Schmidt

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.

Turn heat down to just above medium (around #6 on the dial) and fry the tofu. Using tongs, place the tofu cubes in the oil, allowing them to cook 1 minute or so. Turn the tofu cubes over with your tongs to cook 1 minute on the other side, or until cubes are a light golden brown.
