Crispy Egg-Fried Tofu

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Egg-Fried Tofu.

1. Step 1

   Start by slicing your firm tofu into twelve equal rectangular pieces, creating the perfect bite-sized morsels.

2. Step 2

   To elevate the flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on both sides of each slice, allowing the tofu to soak in that savory goodness.

3. Step 3

   Next, grab a large, deep saucepan and pour in some vegetable oil, heating it over medium heat until it’s nice and hot—this is where the magic happens! While the oil warms up, take a bowl and lightly beat a couple of eggs.

4. Step 4

   Dip each salted tofu slice into the egg mixture, making sure it’s well coated for that delicious crispy texture.

5. Step 5

   Once the oil is ready, gently place the egg-coated tofu slices into the hot oil, frying them for about three minutes on each side.

6. Step 6

   You’re looking for a beautiful golden-brown color and a crispy exterior that will make your taste buds dance! While the tofu is sizzling away, whip up a quick and tasty dipping sauce by combining soy sauce, chopped green onions, sliced chile peppers, vinegar, sugar, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes in a small bowl.

7. Step 7

   This sauce will add a delightful kick to your dish! When the tofu is perfectly golden and crispy, carefully remove it from the oil and let it drain on some paper towels to soak up any excess oil.

8. Step 8

   Serve your fried tofu hot, alongside that zesty dipping sauce, and watch as everyone gathers around to enjoy this delicious treat!.
