Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1 tsp Curry Powder
  • 1 tsp Tamari
  • 100 g Tofu

Instructions

  • 1. Drain water from tofu package and press tofu to remove excess water. To press, place tofu blocks on a non-terrycloth towel or paper towels. Add another layer of towels on top and weigh it down with a wooden chopping board for at least 30 minutes.
  • 2. Cut tofu into either squares or strips, making sure pieces are at least 1.5" thick. Then add to a medium mixing bowl and season with a pinch of salt and desired seasoning.
  • 3. Over medium high heat in a large skillet, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Oil is hot enough when an insert wooden chopstick or skewer causes oil to bubble.
  • 4. Add tofu to oil, careful not to overcrowd skillet. Fry on each side for approximate 3-5 minutes or until golden.
  • 5. Remove to cooling rack inserted in sheet pan to drain oil. Repeat until all tofu has been fried.
