"Fast, easy and tasty. Goes well with Thai curry. The only tofu that my BF (serious carnivore) will eat! Prep time is mainly the time that the tofu is draining."

In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch and seasoning salt.

mmmm, tastes like the fried tofu I get from local boba milk tea shops. I used my deep frier and added cayenne pepper to the dry mix to give it a little kick. Thanks a lot!

I made these to take with some other things to my mom for dinner. They were easy to make and wonderful to eat! Nice delicate crispness on the outside while being tender on the inside. I didn't have seasoning salt or peanut oil so I used sea salt and vegetable oil. I thoroughly enjoyed them anyway! This is definitely going into my favorites folder. THANK YOU, mlok :D

This was great and all we added was a bit of light soy sauce. Thanks for posting !

I love tofu done this way! I love the crispiness. I add them to stir frys and they are good on their own dipped in sauce. Thank you mlok!
