Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Tofu Nuggets.
Step 1
Start by draining the tofu to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Place the tofu on a plate and weigh it down with heavy plates for about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Once drained, cut the tofu into 24 bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a large resealable plastic bag, mix together self-rising flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Add the tofu pieces to the bag, seal it tightly, and gently shake until each piece is well-coated in the flour mixture.
Step 6
Transfer the coated tofu to a plate, ensuring to shake off any excess flour.
Step 7
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers invitingly.
Step 8
Carefully add the tofu to the hot oil, frying in batches if needed.
Step 9
Cook the tofu, turning occasionally, until all sides are beautifully golden brown and crispy, which should take about 5 minutes per side.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful crunch and savor the flavors!.
