Fried Tofu
Ingredients
2 blocks tofu
3/4 C. tapioca starch
Oil for deep-frying
Salt to taste
Hoisin sauce
Coriander or chopped green onions for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Cut tofu into blocks 1 x 1 x 2 inches. Dredge each piece into tapioca starch until all surfaces are covered thoroughly. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Deep-fry 3 to 4 minutes at high heat until each piece is about 3/4 done. Remove and drain on a rack or paper toweling. Just before serving, repeat dredging and deep-frying steps, only frying the pieces until golden brown and crispy. Salt lightly. Slit each piece lengthwise and put Hoisin sauce into each slit to taste. Garnish with coriander or green onions and serve. Serves six.
