Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When frying starch-coated tofu, keep space between pieces to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.
  • Avoid cutting tofu too large (it won’t absorb flavor inside) or too small (it breaks easily during stir-frying). Stick to fingertip-sized pieces.
  • Add the fried tofu to the boiling sauce immediately and stir quickly to preserve the crisp texture of the fried coating.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a unique, Chinese-style tofu dish instead of regular fried or braised tofu.
  • Fans of balanced spicy-sweet-sour gankofu sauce flavors.
  • Home cooks wanting to create a luxurious, filling meal or appetizer using just one block of affordable tofu.
