Crispy Tofu Recipe: Whenever something quick and tasty is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is fast food and unhealthy junk food. But what if we told you that you can still be healthy while enjoying the flavor? If you're craving something spicy, tangy, and protein-rich, you're in the right place. Because today, we're sharing a recipe shared on Instagram by chef_nehalkarkera, made with tofu. So, let's get to the recipe without further ado.

How to Make Tofu Recipe
Ingredients:

Tofu - 200 grams
Salt - to taste
Oil - for shallow frying
For the crust:
Salted edamame - 50 grams (coarsely ground)
Panko - 3 tablespoons
Togarashi - 2 teaspoons
For the slurry:
Cornflour - 2 tablespoons
Water - 1/4 cup
Salt - to taste
For the sauce:
Gochujang - 3 tablespoons
Soy sauce - 2 teaspoons
Water - 2 tablespoons
Vinegar - 1 teaspoon
Sugar - 1 teaspoon

Method:

To make this dish, first squeeze the tofu for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut it into thick cubes and sprinkle lightly with salt. Coarsely grind the salted edamame, but leave a little grainy. Mix it with the panko and togarashi in a bowl. Whisk the cornflour, water, and salt until smooth and a slightly thick batter forms. Dip the tofu pieces into the batter and shake off any excess. Then coat them evenly with the edamame-panko mixture, coating them evenly on all sides. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.

Shallow fry the tofu until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Combine gochujang, soy sauce, water, vinegar, and sugar in a small pan. Cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes, until slightly thickened and shiny. Pour this batter over the crispy tofu to make it even crispier, or mix it lightly just before serving.

Benefits of Tofu:
Tofu (soy cheese) is rich in protein, calcium, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. It is considered ideal for vegetarians. Because it is rich in protein, consuming it can help lower cholesterol, strengthen bones, and reduce weight.
