- Cut both the tofu and cod into pieces about 1.5 inches long and .5 inch thick. Place tofu in one bowl and cod in another.
- Divide next seven ingredients between the two bowls and toss gently. Take care not to break the tofu.
- Heat half of oil in a wide, ninstick skillet. When hot, add tofu and fry over medium-high heat until golden and crispy, 8-10 mninutes. Turn so that all surfaces have a chance to color. When done, sprinkle with salt, remove to a plate, and cover to keep warm. Return pan to the heat.

Steps:
- Wrap tofu in a clean towel and place onto a plate. Set another plate on top, and place a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for about 20 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid.
- Cut tofu into 1-inch by 2-inch chunks. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt onto one slide; flip over and sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon on the other.
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet. To test if the oil is ready, dip a chopstick or wooden spoon in it; if bubbles rise, it is ready. If the oil smokes, it is too hot.
- Gently place 5 to 8 pieces of tofu at a time in hot oil using metal tongs. Be very careful as oil may splatter; use a splatter guard if possible. Fry tofu until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Drain tofu on a plate lined with several paper towels. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

DEEP-FRIED TOFU SIMMERED WITH SCALLION
Viet cooks often deep-fry cubes of tofu until crisp and golden and then add them to a stir-fry or a simmering liquid (in this case, a mixture of fish sauce, water, and scallion). Fried tofu absorbs other flavors especially well, yet holds its shape and retains its faintly nutty overtones. The end result is a chewy, almost meaty quality. Look for regular or medium-firm tofu for deep-frying, never the silken type or the firm type that is best for grilling. Freshly made tofu (see opposite) will puff up during frying and then deflate as it cools; packaged tofu won't do that and will be denser after it is out of the oil. Both will have excellent flavor. When building your menu, treat this recipe as the main savory dish and accompany it with a vegetable dish and/or meat-and-vegetable stir-fry, a simple soup, and rice.

Steps:
- In a wide, shallow saucepan or 10-inch skillet, combine the water and enough fish sauce to create a lightly savory liquid. The tofu will completely absorb this liquid, so make it a little less strong than you would like. Place the pan next to the stove.
- Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches into a wok or 5-quart Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat to 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. (If you don't have a thermometer, stand a dry bamboo chopstick in the oil; if small bubbles immediately gather on the surface around the chopstick, the oil is ready.)
- Fry the tofu cubes in 2 or 3 batches to avoid crowding the pan and lowering the oil temperature. Gently drop the tofu into the hot oil, which will foam vigorously. The tofu will immediately sink to the bottom and then eventually float up. As the tofu cubes fry, use a skimmer to push them around to ensure even frying and to separate any that stick together. After 4 to 6 minutes, the cubes should be golden and crispy. Use the skimmer to lift them out of the oil and then shake it over the pan briefly to drain away excess oil. Put the tofu directly into the saucepan holding the fish sauce and water. Repeat until all the tofu is fried. (You can fry the tofu several hours in advance, cover, and keep at room temperature. Just before serving, add the tofu to the fish sauce and water and continue with the recipe.)
- Place the pan over medium heat, bring the tofu and sauce to a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally to expose all the surfaces to the seasonings, for 3 minutes, or until the tofu absorbs the liquid. Uncover, scatter in the scallion, and give everything a big stir. Transfer to a shallow bowl and serve immediately.
