Panfrying crisp firm tofu is deceptively easy to mess up



Panfrying crisp firm tofu is deceptively easy to mess up

Originally uploaded by minjungkim.


Ways to fuck this up.

1. Slice the tofu too thin
2. Slice the tofu too thick
3. Don’t pat dry the tofu enough
4. Have too much oil in the pan
5. Have too little oil in the pan
6. Have the temperature too low
7. Have the tmperature too high
8. Let it sit in the oil too long
9. Let it get cold before serving.

Luckly for me tonight, i avoided *most* of these errors.
