Brilio.net - Crispy tofu has become a favorite snack among various groups. Tofu pieces fried until golden offer a crispy and crunchy outer texture, while the inside remains soft and savory. This dish is not only easy to make, but can also be served as a snack or side dish with various main dishes.
The process of making crispy tofu is actually quite simple, but there are some tricks that need to be considered to achieve perfect results. The main key lies in choosing the right type of tofu and frying technique. Using quality tofu that is not too soft, and ensuring a stable oil temperature, are the first steps to getting the ideal crispy tofu.
In addition, coating the tofu with the right flour batter will help create a crispy and tempting outer layer. Usually the basic ingredient of the flour batter used comes from wheat flour. However, in some cases, this wheat flour can make the tofu soft because it absorbs a lot of oil.
Instead, you can use a trick shared by the owner of the YouTube account yu sitie chanel. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to using another type of flour. Well, this flour can make tofu crispy for a long time and the spices are perfectly absorbed, you know.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube yu sitie chanel on Monday (10/21), the type of flour used is rice flour. This rice flour can make the surface of the tofu crispier when fried. However, so that the results are not soft, the rice flour will be used in dry conditions.
