Description

Tofu is coated with cornstarch and then deep-fried. It's served with green onions and hoisin sauce. Use any dipping sauce you prefer.

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package extra firm tofu
3 tablespoons cornstarch
oil for frying
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Directions

1 Cut tofu into 12 cubes. Place cornstarch on a plate or in a shallow bowl and dredge tofu in it, coating thoroughly.
2 Heat enough oil so that tofu will be half-way submerged. Fry tofu in hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
3 Sprinkle green onions over tofu and drizzle with hoisin sauce. Serve immediately.
