PAN-FRIED TOFU



Pan-Fried Tofu image

Firm tofu breaded with nutritional yeast then pan-fried until golden brown. Creates a crispy breading. Great with hash browns and toast for a weekend breakfast, lunch, whatever! My daughter likes to dip this in ketchup. Excellent in a sandwich. For a low-fat version you can also bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) on a nonstick baking sheet for 15 to 20 minutes.

THE BEST PAN-FRIED TOFU



The Best Pan-Fried Tofu image

I have had MANY people ask me how I pan fry my tofu and get it so crispy and firm. There are a few reasons why:-). First I either use a non-stick or cast iron pan, I don't overcrowd the surface, I drain my tofu REALLY well, use only extra firm Chinese style and MOST important of all, I leave it undisturbed while cooking and this allows the golden crust we all love on pan-fried tofu to develop! Please find detailed instructions below on how to make the best pan-fried tofu ever!

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 16m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb extra firm tofu (extra firm only)
1 1/2-3 tablespoons canola oil or 1 1/2-3 tablespoons peanut oil
salt
cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Take your block of tofu and wrap it in several layers of paper towels.
  • Gently press the tofu with your hands or against the counter top to release the liquid. This will take about a minute.
  • Slice the tofu into pieces about 1/2 an inch thick.
  • Set tofu aside.
  • If you are using a non-stick pan heat it slightly on medium-high heat (about 30 seconds) before adding oil.
  • If you are using a cast iron pan, please heat for about 1 minute to 1 1/2 minutes on medium-high heat. Cast iron is very thick and you want the pan to be heated evenly before adding the tofu.
  • Add oil to heated pan.
  • Gently spread oil over the entire surface of the pan.
  • Set the tofu pieces in the pan, leaving ample room between them. They should sizzle when placed in the oil. Sprinkle the tops with salt and a little cayenne pepper.
  • Now, the MOST IMPORTANT step is -- LEAVE THEM ALONE for about 6 or 7 minutes. Just gently shake them to make sure they don't stick to the pan. Do NOT turn them or agitate them in any other way. When you see a golden crust beginning to creep its way up the sides of the slices, turn them and spice the other side. Add more oil if the pan seems too dry.
  • The second side will only take about 4 minutes to cook.
  • When they are evenly browned take them out of the pan and place them on paper towels to drain.
  • These are very simply seasoned and basic and can now be used any way you like. I like these with steamed broccoli and peanut sauce -- or in a sandwich with grilled peppers and mushrooms and aioli -- or just eaten with ketchup:-).

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
½ teaspoon salt
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Wrap tofu in a clean towel and place onto a plate. Set another plate on top, and place a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for about 20 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
  • Cut tofu into 1-inch by 2-inch chunks. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt onto one slide; flip over and sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon on the other.
  • Heat oil in a wok or large skillet. To test if the oil is ready, dip a chopstick or wooden spoon in it; if bubbles rise, it is ready. If the oil smokes, it is too hot.
  • Gently place 5 to 8 pieces of tofu at a time in hot oil using metal tongs. Be very careful as oil may splatter; use a splatter guard if possible. Fry tofu until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Drain tofu on a plate lined with several paper towels. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
