Deep Fried Tofu Triangles Recipes

TOFU TRIANGLES IN CREAMY NUT BUTTTER SAUCE WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• 1. Slice the tofu crosswise into scant 1/ 2-inch slabs, then cut each slab into 2 triangles. Blot with paper towels.
• 2. Heat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet and add the oil. When hot, add the tofu and fry over medium-high heat until golden. Turn and cook on the second side.
• 3. Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small food processor and puree until smooth. Taste for salt and add a little extra, if needed.
• 4. When the tofu is done, pour in half the sauce and cook until bubbling and partially reduced.
• 5. Turn off the heat, scatter the scallions and sesame seeds over the top, and bring to the table.

DEEP FRIED TOFU TRIANGLES

Steps:

• Drain the tofu: Place several paper towels on a cutting board. Place the tofu on the cutting board, and then place a heavy object such as a plate or book on top. Drain the tofu for at least 15 minutes, changing the paper towels as required. (If possible, it's helpful to tilt the cutting board so that the water drains directly into the sink). Cut the tofu into triangles, or cubes if you prefer. Heat oil for deep-frying. Carefully add the tofu pieces into the wok. Fry, stirring occasionally, until the tofu triangles are golden on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep warm while frying the remaining tofu triangles. Serve with or Peking-Style Sauce, Soy-ginger dip, or sweet and sour sauce.
