Fried tofu
Prepare fresh old tofu, salt and cooking oil.
working methods
Step 1: Tofu is divided into old tofu and tender tofu. Old tofu should be used to fry tofu. Old tofu has less water, which makes it easier to foam and tastes more brittle.
Step 2: Wash the old tofu, cut it into 2 cm square pieces, put it in a big bowl, add a proper amount of water, add a spoonful of salt, stir well and soak for half an hour. Soaking in light salt water can remove the beany smell of tofu and increase the toughness of protein. The fried tofu foam is slippery and not easy to crack.
Step 3: Take out the tofu blocks, drain the water, and then fry them, otherwise they will be easy to fry.
Step 4: Pour a proper amount of oil into the pot and heat it to 50% heat, that is, wooden chopsticks will bubble when inserted into the oil, but plastic chopsticks or metal chopsticks will not.
Step 5: Pour the tofu blocks directly into the oil pan, fry them over low heat, and don't move after cooking. After frying the surfaces, turn them over with a shovel. After tofu is heated, the water inside will evaporate quickly, and the tofu block will expand and become hollow bubbles, floating on the oil surface. When the color is golden, continue to fry for 2 minutes to let all the water in the tofu evaporate.
Step 6: When the tofu bubble is no longer big, you can turn off the fire, take out the tofu bubble, drain the oil, cool it and freeze it.
Fried tofu bubbles are tender outside and tender inside, which is similar to the feeling of fried stinky tofu. After biting, there are many pores inside, all of which are formed by evaporation of water. Without water, tofu foam can be preserved for a long time, and frozen 1 year will not deteriorate.
