Steps:
- Press tofu to remove excess moisture. To do so, line a plate with several paper towels. Place tofu on paper towels and top with two or three more paper towels. Place three or four more plates on top of the tofu, making sure they're well-balanced. Drain for 20 - 30 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure plates are still balanced (toppling plates = bummer!)
- Remove tofu from paper towels. Place on cutting board and cut tofu into squares or rectangles, as desired.
- Add the vegetable or canola oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the corn starch, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a large plate or shallow baking dish. Mix.
- Working in batches, dredge the tofu in the corn starch mixture, turning to coat evenly.
- Carefully add tofu to hot oil in skillet. Cook over medium-high for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides.
- Remove tofu from pan and place on several paper towels, blotting to remove excess oil.
- Serve as desired.
SALT & PEPPER TOFU
Use both types of peppercorns for our salt & pepper tofu if you can, for a tongue-tingling kick and a spicy warmth. The dish is great for a Chinese banquet

Steps:
- Drain the tofu, wrap loosely in kitchen paper and put on a plate. Rest a chopping board on top. If you're using a light chopping board, weigh it down with a couple of cans - a heavier chopping board will be sufficient on its own. Leave for 10-20 mins until the cloth feels wet from the excess liquid. Pressing the tofu like this helps to give it a firmer texture once cooked.
- Cut the tofu in half down the centre like a book. Cut each piece into four triangles, as you would a piece of toast, then in half again to give you 16 pieces in total. Mix the cornflour, ground pepper and 1 tsp flaky sea salt on a plate. Gently turn each piece of tofu in the cornflour mix to coat.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok. Stir-fry the peppers and broccoli for a few minutes, to soften a little. Add the beansprouts and soy sauce. Cook for another 1-2 mins, making sure the veg still has a nice crunch. Drizzle with a little sesame oil.
- Heat the remaining sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the coated tofu for 5 mins on each side until crisp. Serve on top of the vegetables, scattered with the coriander.

- Toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch to coat.
- Heat oil in wok or large skillet.

SALT AND PEPPER TOFU
I'm not a vegetarian, although I used to be one for 13 years, and even though I eat meat, I like to try to use meat sparingly. I love baked tofu, but most of the recipes I've come across are soy sauce marinades. I love the taste, but the sodium is just to high to do often. While looking for other tofu recipes, I found this one. With this recipe, they suggest sauteing in a pan. However, I like to bake mine. Just put some parchment paper down on a pan and bake until a little golden and crispy (usually about 20-30 min.) This is from the website eatmedelicious.com

Steps:
- With a sharp knife, cut tofu, lengthwise into thirds. Place side-by-side on an absorbent towel and cover with an additional towel. Place a heavy pot on top of the towels to get as much water out of the tofu as possible. If you can let it set like that for 20-30 minutes, great. If not, just get out as much water as you can.
- Cut tofu into 1" cubes.
- In a large bowl, combine jalapeño, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, sugar and five-spice powder. Stir well and add tofu cubes. Toss until tofu cubes are well coated on all sides.
- In a large skillet, heat oil and add tofu (and spices). Cook on medium-low heat, 8 minutes, turning cubes every 1-2 minutes. Add green onions and cook an additional 2 minutes, until tofu is golden brown.

Steps:
- Cut the tofu into 1 1/2 by 3/4-inch pieces and place on a cloth to dry. Put enough oil in a wok to deep-fry the tofu and heat to 350°F, or until a cube of bread dropped in the oil browns in 15 seconds. Deep-fry the tofu for about 5 minutes, or until it is golden and very crisp. Once all of the tofu is cooked, remove the oil from the wok and reserve for later use.
- Place 2 teaspoons of oil back into the wok and place over high heat. Add the scallions, chile, and garlic, stir-fry for 30 seconds, then return the tofu to the wok. Toss to combine the flavors and season with the salt and pepper seasoning mix. Serve with salt, pepper, and lemon dipping sauce or vegetarian dipping sauce .

- Slice the tofu into ½ inch (1 cm) thick, 1 ½ inch x 2 inch (4x5 cm) rectangles. Make the brine by stirring together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, sugar, and warm water. Place the tofu into the brine for 1-2 hours.
- Combine the salt, ground white pepper, Sichuan peppercorn powder, and sand ginger powder. You’ll use half of this salt and pepper spice mix for the tofu coating and the other half to finish the dish in the wok.
- Heat 4 tablespoons oil in your wok over low heat for 30 seconds. Add the garlic. It should bubble and sizzle very slowly at this low heat and not burn. Be patient, because burnt garlic has a very bitter flavor. Move the garlic around in the oil so it cooks evenly. It’s done when it has turned a light golden brown.
- Heat the oil in the wok over medium-high heat. Place the tofu in the wok in a single layer, and brown the tofu, adjusting the heat as needed. Don’t walk away, as you don’t want to burn the crust! After the tofu starts to brown, flip the tofu to brown the other side. When done, transfer the tofu to a plate.

- Drain the excess water from the tofu for 10 to 15 minutes. I like to do this by wrapping them in paper towels and placing them on a flat surface before putting a plate or flat heavy surface on top. You can also opt to use a tofu press.
- Before you start coating your tofu, heat a large pan or wok over high heat with oil enough to submerge at least half of your tofu. I prefer to completely submerge them in oil to really evenly crisp the sides. If pan-frying, see the steps in the notes below.

- Place corn starch in a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of the spice mix into the cornstarch and whisk.
- Preheat frying pan or skillet in medium high heat and coat into about 4-5 tablespoons of cooking oil.
- Pat tofu dry and dice into cubes. Coat each piece into the corn starch and toss into the hot pan immediately. Repeat the process until all tofu pieces are coated in corn starch and ready to fry. Flip the tofu in oil on each side for 2-3 minutes (or until it forms a golden brown crust). Be sure to monitor the tofu on each side, as they can easily burn from the starch. Do not over crowd the pan, depending on the size of your pan, you may have to do in batches. Allow it to cool on a cooling or wire rack. You will know you have cooked the tofu properly if it has created a crispy exterior from the corn starch.

- Heat a pan over medium-high heat. I like a well seasoned cast iron pan for their even heat which creates a great crispy crust. Once the pan is warm, add in the oil.
- Place one piece of tofu in the pan. If it sizzles upon contact, it’s ready. Add in the other tofu cubes, being careful not to crowd the pan, and cook until the bottom side is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Use a for to turn the tofu and repeat until all sides are crispy.

- Drain the tofu from the package and wrap it with a cloth or paper towels. Give the tofu a gentle squeeze so that the cloth or paper towels absorb the extra moisture. Let the tofu sit on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Cut up the tofu into small, roughly 3/4-inch cubes. They don’t need to be perfectly uniform. Then, transfer the tofu cubes to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle half of the cornstarch mixture over the tofu and toss to coat. When you no longer see any dry cornstarch, sprinkle the remaining cornstarch mixture and toss again.
- In another bowl, mix the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon shiitake mushroom powder. Set it aside.

- Stir sugar and salt into the vinegar until dissolved, then add the cucumber and chilli and stir to combine.
- If you have time, it's always a good idea to press and drain your tofu. I do this by removing it from the package, wrapping it in a few layers of paper towel and arranging it between two dinner plates with something heavy on top. Even 10 minutes of draining time will be of benefit, and ideally up to an hour if you have the time. The more moisture you can drain off the tofu, the better the texture will be (and in recipes where the tofu is marinated it will suck up the flavours better). Once drained, cut the tofu into even sized cubes.
