Ingredients
  • 4 appetizer portions
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 stalk green onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chile, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 5-7 ounces fried tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes**
  • Vegetable oil
  • **For fresh tofu: cut firm tofu into squares and place in plate with plate on top and press water out. Then place a very heavy (cast iron, if you have) pan on top and let sit for 30 minutes. I like making with fresh tofu.

Directions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar and sugar, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the green onion, garlic, chile and black pepper, and stir to combine. Set aside. This makes about one-third cup dipping sauce.
  2. Pan-fry the cubes of tofu in a wok or medium, heavy-bottom saucepan: Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the wok or pan and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Test the oil with one cube of tofu, adjusting the heat as necessary so the cube fries quickly but does not burn. Fry the cubes in a single layer, making sure the pieces do not touch, until crisp on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes total. Repeat until all of the tofu pieces are cooked; this may need to be done in 2 batches.
  3. Drain the pieces on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Serve the fried tofu hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

I love this kind of stuff. Thanks for the share


Always looking for tofu recipes and the dipping sauce looks great! thanks for sharing :)


This is one of my favorite things at our local Chinese restaurant. But they don't have a clue about the sauce. This sounds great. High 5 to you my friend!
