Deep Fried Tofu
- 1 1/4 pounds firm tofu silken, drained
- cornstarch to dust
- vegetable oil to deep-fry
- 1 radish diakon, peeled and cut into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds or black
- soy sauce
- salt
- lime slices to serve
- Place the tofu on a rack on a plate. Cover with a paper towel and place a small weight on top. Drain for 30 mins to remove excess liquid, then cut each block of tofu into 8 cubes.
- Dust the tofu with cornstarch, coating it on all sides. Heat the oil in a wok or heavy-based frying pan to 350u0b0F, or until a cube of bread sizzles on contact. Deep-fry the tofu in batches for 2 mins each side, until golden and crisp. Remove carefully with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Arrange the tofu on a serving plate and top with shredded diakon and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with soy sauce and lime slices.
