The key is that the tofu looks great and is simple to make. If you’ve never tried fried tofu like this, you must try it. It’s quite enjoyable. Just pay attention to these points when making it.
(1) This dish should use old tofu. The tofu pieces should be as uniform as possible. The uniformity is not only beautiful but also ensures that it is cooked at the same time.
(2) Do not use high heat when frying tofu. If the temperature is too high, it will easily stick to the pan. Just control the heat to medium or small.
(3) When frying the tofu, don't move it. Just turn it over when it is fried and golden. If it is not fried and set, the tofu will easily break if you move it.
(4) The oil temperature for to stimulate the seasoning should be higher. The high oil temperature can fully stimulate the aroma of the seasoning.
