Ingredients

200 g silken tofu cut into chunks
3 tbs plain flour
2 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp salt

To garnish

1/2 tbs fresh red chilli finely chopped
1/2 tbs garlic chives finely chopped

Method

Step 1

Place the tofu between two layers of paper towel over a small flat plate. Put a larger flat plate on top of it and weigh it down with something heavy like a cookbook or phone book. Change the paper towel once it is soaked through and replace with a new piece. Repeat this process about 3 times.
Step 2

Add salt and pepper to the flour and mix well. Transfer this mixture to a large flat plate.
Step 3

Gently mix the tofu pieces through the seasoned flour and set aside.
Step 4

Heat the oil to 180C. Lift the basket and place the tofu pieces in it, making sure they are not touching each other. Deep fry the tofu pieces until golden then remove from the oil and drain on absorbent paper.
Step 5

Place the tofu onto a serving plate and garnish with red chilli and garlic chives. Serve immediately.
