Prepare the ingredients
The tofu you buy should be carefully rinsed with water, then use a knife to cut it into small pieces, about the thickness of a finger.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add in 1/3 of a spoon of salt, 1/3 of a teaspoon of ground pepper, 1/3 of a teaspoon of seasoning, and 1/3 of a teaspoon of sugar, then stir well to combine the mixture.
-
Prepare the batter
Put 100g of crispy batter and the mixed eggs into a clean bowl.
Next, add 70ml of filtered water into the bowl and use a spoon to stir the mixture until the batter reaches a certain smooth consistency, not too thick and not too runny.
-
Coat the tofu with the crispy batter
First, take each piece of prepared tofu and dip it into the bowl of freshly prepared crispy batter.
Then, roll the dipped tofu piece in the layer of bread crumbs so that the crumbs evenly cover the tofu piece. Do the same for all the remaining ingredients.
After coating with crumbs, let the tofu sit outside for about 20 minutes before frying. This method helps to prevent the bread crumbs from falling off the tofu while frying.
-
Place a pot on the stove, add 400ml of cooking oil. Wait for the oil to heat up, then add the soft tofu that has been rolled in breadcrumbs and fry over medium heat.
Fry for about 10 – 15 minutes until the tofu is evenly golden on all sides, then remove it onto a plate lined with paper towels and turn off the stove.
