Also, it has a more pronounced soybean taste which I appreciate very much (I use the same type for <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/scallion-tofu\/\">Scallion Tofu<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/braised-tofu-sichuan-style\/\">Sichuan Braised Tofu<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/tofu-omelet\/\">Tofu Omelet<\/a>, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I&rsquo;d suggest you avoid the extra firm tofu that you&rsquo;d find on vegan food shelves in mainstream supermarkets as their texture tends to be dry and crumbly, quite different from the Chinese\/Asian type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soft tofu (Nen Dou Fu\/&#23273;&#35910;&#33104;) which is often used in <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/mapo-tofu-authentic-way\/\">Mapo tofu<\/a> can be a substitute but you need to be extra gentle when handling it. However, Japanese style silken tofu (Juan Dou Fu\/&#32482;&#35910;&#33104;) which is great for soups and salads, e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/silken-tofu-salad\/\">Silken Tofu with Scallion Dressing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/century-eggs\/\">Century Egg and Tofu Salad<\/a>, is not recommended for this dish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Do I need to press the tofu?<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding tofu preparation, you might have heard of pressing tofu (or soaking it in salty brine) to remove some of the water. You don&rsquo;t need to do this for today&rsquo;s salt and pepper tofu. Following the steps explained in the next sections, you&rsquo;ll achieve the best combination of texture: crispy outside and moist inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drain off the liquid in which the tofu is packed. Ideally, leave it to sit until it comes back to room temperature if it was chilled (very cold tofu will dramatically lower the oil temperature when frying). Cut it into cubes. Each side measures about 1 inch\/2.5 cm. Set aside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"prepare-the-tofu\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Prepare the tofu<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a golden, crispy crust for the tofu cubes, you&rsquo;ll need to prepare a dry mix for coating. Here is what it consists of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 tbsp <strong>all-purpose flour<\/strong>\/plain flour. Replace it with starch if you wish to make the dish gluten-free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 tbsp <strong>cornstarch<\/strong>, or potato starch\/tapioca starch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&frac12; tsp <strong>baking powder<\/strong>. It increases the crispiness slightly and helps to achieve the golden colour. However, please feel free to skip it if unavailable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&frac12; tsp <strong>salt and pepper seasoning<\/strong> (<em>recipe for the homemade version explained in later sections<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For a better coating result, I suggest you sift flour, starch and baking powder before mixing with the salt and pepper seasoning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"1386\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/dry-coat-tofu.jpg\" alt=\"drying tofu and coat it with flour and starch\" class=\"wp-image-15548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/dry-coat-tofu.jpg 924w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/dry-coat-tofu-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/dry-coat-tofu-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/dry-coat-tofu-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/dry-coat-tofu-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a clean kitchen towel or kitchen paper to pat dry the tofu cubes then put them into the flour mixture. Evenly and THINLY coat all sides then gently remove any excess flour with your fingers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#128718; Tip:<\/strong> Please pay attention to the timing of drying and coating the tofu. If you pat dry the tofu too early, by the time you coat it with the flour mixture, the moisture inside would have come to the surface causing a wet and lumpy coating. Also, already coated tofu cubes need to be fried straightaway. Otherwise, the water will surface again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pan-fry-or-air-fry\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Pan-fry or air-fry<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional salt and pepper tofu recipes require deep-frying which might not be your preferred cooking method. The good news is that pan-frying does the job just as well if you pay attention to a few tricks, like how I cook <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/salt-and-pepper-wings\/\">Salt and Pepper Wings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s best to use a non-stick pan\/wok. Add oil then turn on the heat to medium-high. The quantity of oil depends on the size of your cookware but it should be generously covering the entire surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/shallow-frying-tofu-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"shallow frying in a pan\" class=\"wp-image-15540\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Only put in the tofu when the oil is hot enough. This is very important as it produces a crispy crust without having too much moisture extracted from the inside of the tofu. Use one piece of tofu to test if uncertain. If you see bubbles appearing immediately around the tofu, you&rsquo;re ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/golden-fried-tofu-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"golden coloured tofu cubes in a pan\" class=\"wp-image-15537\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you don&rsquo;t overcrowd the cubes. Fry in two batches if necessary. Use chopsticks or tongs to flip them frequently to brown each side evenly. Once properly golden, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper which soaks up any excess oil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Air frying option<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you own an air fryer, you may air fry these flour-coated tofu cubes. <strong>The end result isn&rsquo;t as good as pan-frying but it&rsquo;s acceptable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat your air fryer at 200&deg;C\/390&deg;F for 3 mins. After you coat the tofu with the flour mixture, spray oil over every side of the cubes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the air fryer is ready, put tofu in a single layer over the crisper tray inside the air fryer.
