Deep-Fried Tofu Triangles

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 pound medium or firm tofu
3 - 4 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
oil for deep-frying


Directions:

Drain the tofu: Place several paper towels on a cutting board.
Place the tofu on the cutting board, and then place a heavy
object such as a plate or book on top. Drain the tofu for at
least 15 minutes, changing the paper towels as required. (If
possible, it's helpful to tilt the cutting board so that the
water drains directly into the sink).

Cut the tofu into triangles, or cubes if you prefer.

Heat oil for deep-frying. Carefully add the tofu pieces into
the wok. Fry, stirring occasionally, until the tofu triangles
are golden on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and
drain on paper towels. Keep warm while frying the remaining
tofu triangles. Serve with Peking-Style Sauce, Soy-ginger dip,
or sweet and sour sauce.
