How to Make Fried Tofu With Sweet And Sour Dipping Sauce
- In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of water over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, gently add the fried tofu cubes and cook for 3-5 minutes. This removes excess oil and brings the tofu to room temperature.
- Remove tofu with a slotted spoon and place it on a clean kitchen towel to drain thoroughly.
- In the same saucepan, combine 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a slightly syrupy consistency (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional).
- Serve the tofu immediately or at room temperature with the sweet and sour sauce in a small dipping bowl.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra flavor and visual appeal.
