Description

A delightful fusion of crispy tofu coated in a spicy, savory chili crisp sauce that tantalizes your taste buds.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup chili crisp sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut the pressed tofu into cubes. This will help the tofu absorb flavors and smaller pieces will cook more quickly.
  2. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with soy sauce and minced garlic to infuse the tofu with delicious savory flavor.
  3. Sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu and toss until it’s well-coated for a coveted crunch.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides.
  5. Drizzle chili crisp sauce over the cooked tofu and stir to coat thoroughly. Season with salt to taste and garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes

Ensure that the tofu is well-drained and pressed for the best crispy texture. Adjust the chili crisp sauce based on your heat preference.
