Easy and Crispy Fried Tofu

let's make...

– 1 lb. extra firm tofu (preferably organic) – 1 tsp. Cajun seasoning or to taste – 1 tsp. salt or to taste – 4 tbsp. cornstarch – 4 tbsp. olive oil or other kind

Ingredients

STEP

1

Drain the liquid from the tofu package and dry the tofu with paper towels. Cut into about 1-inch slices.

STEP

2

Put the slices onto 2-3 paper towels and season them with Cajun seasoning and salt. Flip and season again.

STEP

3

Place 2 more paper towels on top of the tofu slices and press gently with your hands. This way, you’ll remove any excess moisture and press the seasonings into the tofu.

STEP

4

Cut the tofu into cubes and place on a large plate. Add the cornstarch and gently stir to coat (I like using my hands to do this).

STEP

5

Heat the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.

This Fried Tofu recipe is super simple and it tastes fantastic! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it makes a perfect addition to any meal.
