Break extra firm tofu by hand, marinate with soy sauce, maple syrup, and sesame oil. → Create a dry flour station and a wet flour-water batter. Double-coat the tofu: dry, wet, then dry again. → Deep-fry the coated tofu in batches until golden brown and exceptionally crispy. Set aside on a cooling rack. → Sauté garlic, ginger, and dried chilies in chili oil. Add maple syrup, oyster sauce, soy sauces, and black vinegar. Thicken with a potato starch slurry. → Toss the crispy tofu in the finished sauce until well-coated, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve.

重要提醒

⚠️

Using extra firm tofu is important as it holds its shape well during the process.

⚠️

Breaking the tofu by hand instead of cutting creates irregular surfaces, which results in an extra crispy texture after frying.

⚠️

The double-battering process (dry-wet-dry) is key to achieving the signature crispy coating.

⚠️

Fry the tofu in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which would lower the oil temperature and result in less crispy tofu.

⚠️

The sauce should be prepared and ready right after the tofu is fried so you can toss them together while the tofu is still hot and crispy.
