FAQS
How do I make sure the tofu gets crispy?
Pressing the tofu before marinating removes excess water, which helps it get crispier when frying. Also, ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the tofu.
Can I bake the tofu instead of frying it?
Yes, you can bake the tofu. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), place the marinated tofu on a baking sheet, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
What can I serve with this curry tofu?
This tofu is versatile and can be served with rice, noodles, in wraps, or as a topping for salads. It also makes a great high-protein snack on its own.
Can I use different spices?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other spices like cumin, coriander, or chili powder to customize the flavor profile.
How long can I store leftover fried tofu?
Leftover fried tofu can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or pan for the best texture.
