Fried tofu is the only way I've been able to get perfect tofu stir-frys, amazing pad thai, and even a really excellent Italian-herb-breaded tofu awesomeness. Fried tofu is even super yummy all by itself - and I own up to making it and then dipping it in buffalo sauce.
While it might seem like it'll be tricky or take too much time, it's really quite simple when you do it right, and those few extra minutes of frying the tofu are worth the crispy exterior and creamy inside. :D Plus, you don't use very much oil for the frying, which is excellent, and you can use the same oil to cook veggies after!
I've been trying to perfect fried tofu for about six months now, and I am utterly in love with the way I'm doing it currently. I have finally been able to fry tofu as perfectly as my favorite Thai place back in Louisville! HOORAY!
There are a few important things to remember when making fried tofu, but when you get the process down it's nearly foolproof!

Signing UpStep 1: What you'll need:
- 1 package firm/extra firm tofu
- a few tablespoons canola/vegetable oil
- paper towels or lintless towels or some sort
- salt
You'll need the towels for drying the tofu - I've used cloth towels before and it works great. Just make sure whatever you're using won't leave part of itself on the tofu.

This looks amazing! I'd love to give it a try. Can you please post/add the stir fry sauce recipe?
I'm using the sauce from here:

Once again this is a prime example of things I do on a regular basis but never think about putting an instructable together for it. ugh.
And I like to slice them into triangle before put them into fried.
Thanks for the post.
