    This is my favourite way to eat tofu, I finely chop a little green chilli,
    fresh garlic and celery salt and toss the fresh deep fried tofu through
    this mixture.

    This may be stupid and late (2012-2015?) but you freeze the uncooked tofu
    correct?

    hi, a couple of questions

    1) whats the difference in using corn starch and flour?
    2) i notice other deep fry videos, how come some people use egg after the
    flour and others do not (like you)?

    thanks

    Can you tell me if putting the tofu in the freezer first helps get rid of
    some of the moisture? I find that when I use even the x-tra firm tofu,
    depending on the brand, it can have a lot of water and be kind of slimy to
    work with. Any tips?

      Use extra firm tofu, and wrap it in layers of paper (kitchen) towel and
      place it on the plate. Put a lighter, but sturdy plate on top of it, then
      place two average size cans of soup, veg, beans, etc. on it and leave it
      for an hour. Drain water off the plate, wrap in fresh paper towel, then
      place the plate and cans back on top for one more hour. Pat dry before
      coating with corn starch, and the tofu should be dry enough to fry.
      Alternative: rinse the tofu in hot, salted water and let drain in a
      strainer for about an hour. I’ve had better luck with the first method.
      Good luck in the kitchen!

      No it makes it wetter

    Hello Aussie.
    Could you dry season somehow the corn starch with something to bring out
    more flavor. I haven’t tried this but want to end up with Asian flavors.
    Prob Korean or Chinese at the end.

    Will regular flour and vegetable oil work as well?

  15. Asda sendayan says:

    the reason he puts flour.. bcos, it’ll taste different and the texture also
    different.

  16. Asda sendayan says:

    yes you are.. edward.. try it! It taste very very much different.. I cooked
    for my friend b4 and they were all asked me, “wat did i put until they
    taste it so different?”

  17. Asda sendayan says:

    all the same way as i usually did! but my way is a bit different at the
    beginning.. I usually soak it in salt-water. So, the tofu will have taste,
    something like very rich. And then, others are the same…. But sometimes I
    love to roll it with sesame seed after deep fried.. and deep it with spicy
    sweet sauce… It goes well also… 🙂
