This Ultimate Guide to Cooking Tofu is the only guide you'll need to read in order to master cooking tofu that is actually delicious. As promised, here is the recipe for how to make crispy tofu! This recipe can be used for many of the recipes linked above or can be sauced up and served however you'd like.
Press a block of Extra Firm Tofu for at least 20-30 minutes. See above to learn more about pressing tofu.
Cube the tofu and place in a large bowl.
Gently coat the tofu with the low sodium soy sauce then toss in cornstarch and any seasonings of your choice.
Heat a large pan on medium high heat and coat the base of the pan in a neutral oil.
In batches, fry each side of the tofu until crispy and golden brown. About 3-5 minutes each side. Drain the tofu off on a wire rack and finish frying the remaining tofu. Serve however you’d like and enjoy!
Notes
My favorite seasonings to add are garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Season however you'd like!
