This recipe offers a delightful twist on crispy tofu, paired with a zesty peanut sauce for a flavorful and satisfying dish.
Drain the tofu and cut it into even slices.
Use a tofu press or place a heavy object on the tofu to remove excess moisture.
Pat the tofu slices dry with a paper towel.
Dry tofu crisps up better when frying.
Coat the tofu slices evenly with cornstarch.
Shake off any excess cornstarch to avoid clumping.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the tofu slices until golden and crispy on both sides.
Flip the tofu slices carefully to prevent breaking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, chili paste, and lime juice to make the sauce.
Adjust the sauce consistency by adding a splash of water if needed.
Drizzle the peanut sauce over the fried tofu and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
