Cómo preparar Abura Age Deep Fried Tofu
- Press the tofu: Wrap the tofu block in several layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy object (like books or a cast iron skillet) on top and let it sit for at least 20 minutes to remove excess water. This is crucial for achieving a crispy exterior.
- Cut the tofu: Once pressed, cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch cubes).
- Heat the oil: Pour the vegetable oil into the wok or pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the correct temperature.
- Fry the tofu: Carefully add the tofu cubes to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the tofu: Once fried, remove the tofu from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Season: Sprinkle the fried tofu with salt while still warm.
- Serve: Enjoy your crispy abura-age as a topping for rice bowls, in soups, noodle dishes, or as a delicious snack on its own!
