  • In a pan, add enough oil to cover half of the tofu. Turn the heat to medium and bring it to 340°F (171°C).
  • Add 2 of the tofu.*1 Deep fry for 3 minutes. While deep frying, turn all the sides in order to cook all the surfaces.

Notes

*1 if you add all the tofu at the same time, the oil temperature drops dramatically. So add a few of them in the pan each time.
