Crispy Salt and Pepper Tofu

Salt and Pepper Tofu is a popular Chinese dish that can be made easily at home. The tofu has an incredibly crispy exterior, giving way to a soft, silky interior.

You’ll Need:

• 18 oz firm tofu drained
• ½ cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp ground white pepper
• ½ tsp table salt
• Canola oil for frying

Optional garnishes

• 2 red chili pepper seeds removed and thinly sliced
• 2 scallions thinly sliced
• Fresh ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Place tofu block onto a cutting board. Place a second cutting board over tofu. Place a heavy object on top of the cutting board, preferably a heavy can. Apply the weight on the tofu for about 15-20 minutes, to release water from tofu.
2. Slice tofu into 1 inch cubes. Pat dry the tofu cubes with paper towel.
