Steps:
- The first step towards the best tempura tofu is to freeze your packet of tofu. This gives the tofu a much chewier, firmer texture that's perfect for deep fried tofu recipes. Use a tofu press to press out as much liquid as you can from the block of tofu before cutting the block into tempura sized strips. Place your tofu strips into a resealable container and freeze overnight. The next day, allow the tofu to thaw, then press out any excess water a second time.
- When you're ready to start preparing your tempura batter, you need to remember to fry your tofu right away, as the batter itself needs to be cold for the best results. You can set up your skillet or pot and start heating up enough frying oil to cover your tempura strips while you prepare the batter (it doesn't take too long).
- Prepare your batter by first measuring out rice flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda into a mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients together and pour in cold club soda. You don't need the batter to be smooth; lumpy is fine.
- Your oil should be hot now, so it's time to learn how to deep fry tofu. Take your first tofu strip and give it a good coating of tempura batter. Place it straight into the hot oil and let it cook for 2 minutes. Remove the tempura tofu when it's crispy and place it on paper towels or a drying rack to remove excess oil.
- Repeat the process, frying tofu in small batches to give them enough space to cook without touching.
- Serve your tempura tofu with dipping sauces or as part of a larger Japanese-inspired dinner!

VEGETABLE TEMPURA WITH TOFU CHILI DIPPING SAUCE
I love tempura in any fashion! Not listed in the ingredients here but is one of my favorites is sweet potatoes (or yams). The tempura flour can be found in the Asian section of most big grocery chains. I have found that the ice cubes is absolutely necessary. If you don't use it, I guarantee that the results will not be as expected!

Steps:
- Cut vegetables into finger-size pieces, the carrot pieces need to be a little bit thinner (because carrots take longer to cook).
- Mix tempura flour, with egg and water, add a small amount of ice.
- Heat up the frying oil. To check temperature drip a little bit of batter into the oil, if the batter sinks and then slowly float up and gets a nice golden brown crispy texture, it's ready to go.
- Dip vegetable pieces in tempura mixture then place in oil. Vegetables are done when they are a golden brown color and have a crispy texture; will cook about 2 to 3 minutes, carrots may take a little longer than other vegetables.
- Remove vegetables from oil with slotted spoon and place on paper towels to cool.
- For the Tofu chili dipping sauce:.
- Put tofu, egg yolk and sambal oalek in a blender. Start blender and slowly add oil in a steady stream. If you find the sauce too thick, add some water. Salt and pepper to taste.
